Brought to you by Carl's Jr.

Fans of Borat and South Park might appreciate Idiocracy, Mike Judge's commentary on the dumbing down of America. It wasn't so much the plot, or the dialogue, or the acting - although they were all just fine. It was the detail accompanying the mockery, which Judge has clearly developed a talent for (remember the scenes with the printer in Office Space, how they were a total aside to the story but ended up some of the most frequently quoted lines, at least in my office?).

Suffice to say, I will never be able to eat at a Fuddrucker's ever again, and for at least a month I will laugh when I walk by a Starbucks.
