10 Things 'Idiocracy' Predicted Would Happen, and Sadly Already Have
By now, most of us have seen or at least heard of the movie "Idiocracy," which centers around two ordinary people being frozen and waking up 500 years in the future, only to realize that instead of evolving as a society, mankind has become substantially dumber as a whole. Of course, we'd like to think that would never happen in a million years, let alone 500. By and large, it does seem extremely unlikely, yet some of the film's notions of where we're to end up are already on the fast track to becoming reality. What follows are ten shining examples of human devolution.

Great thread TDP.

Sometimes when I'm depressed, I watch a few scenes just to remind myself that the idiocracy is as funny as it is tragic. The doctor visit is one of my favorites.

all you have to do is listen to pop and hip-hop and "r&b" radio stations to know that idiocracy is already here.

not to mention that even Mountain Dew has a drink that advertises itself as a great source of "electrolytes"

It was never supposed to be a docu-comedy.

I always liked the parallel between fluoride in the water to "it's got electrolytes". When ever you mention anything negative about fluoride the response is generally "but it's good for your teeth".

one of my favorites and OP is right, much is true (And that's some of the best comedy)

Mike Judge made a movie called "Extract" and I thought it would be great cause he directed... that movie was complete garbage though
