"On the scale of mental ability, an idiot ranks below a simpleton or an imbecile; technically, a person of the lowest measurable intelligence; and broadly, a very stupid person."
- Wrathchild America, Surrounded By Idiots (3-D, 1991)

I watched Idiocracy the other day. It was a damn funny movie, but also, a slight bit scary. Could things ever REALLY get that bad? I would hope not, but it's not looking so good right now.....
- Miss Teen SC recently uttered this now infamous incoherent babble:
"I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because uh, some uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps, and ah I believe that our education, like as in such as South Africa, and uh the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should and our education over here in the US, should help the US, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries. So we will be able to build up our future for our children."
She claims that she was nervous. Bullshit. Her parents have probably forced her to do this crap since age 4 or so...she should be more than accustomed to the whole pageant thing.
She also claims to have not heard the question. Simple...ask for a repeat. Not an unreasonable request.
This is why some people just shouldn't speak. And so much for SC's so-called "Education Lottery". Funny though, she reminds me of a certain chimp-faced President.....
- I was watching Real Time with Bill Maher Friday night. They had the president of PETA on. She claimed that the single largest threat to our planet, the greatest cause of global warming is...wait for it...COW FARTS. That's right. According to this dumb dunce, this is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a (insert fart noise here). WHAT THE FUCK? Let's just say, for shits & giggles, that global warming is actually real, & not just a manufactured scare tactic.
Wouldn't man-made pollution be the bigger problem? Animals have been here for how long? And what about the dinosaurs? I bet they had some mean gas, as large as they were, yet the Earth has managed to flourish.....
The biggest threat to this planet would be morons like her, & the people who follow her.

"We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal."
- Carl Bernstein, 1992

- All of the Jackass-inspired stupidity on YouTube.....
Now YouTube, in & of itself, could be a good, useful website.
They should make a new website for all of the moronic shit & call it YouTool. How many times can people watch others getting hit in the groin, or getting hurt some other way from doing something stupid?
- Not to mention that both Jackass movies hit #1 at the box office upon release.....
- Most of the stuff on TV offers no mental nutrition.
- Even the news, where we're force-fed such highlights as:
Stupid-Whore-of-the-Week; Pro Athletes Gone Bad; & Celebrity Meltdowns.
Where's the actual useful information?
It's no damn wonder why you can't even go to restaurant, make the simplest of fucking orders, & expect to get it right...
Why the grocery store tricks you into doing 2/3 of the cashier's job...
Why Billy Bob Dumbshit shovels down several Big Macs, a bucket of fries, & a gallon of cola at every meal, then wonders why in the fuck he needs Viagra by age 40...
Why corporations raise prices, while lowering product quality...
Why we vote for the same bullshit over & over & over again, & never catch on, & allow it to continue...
God help us.
