Super Sci-Fi Review Selection 12: "Idiocracy" Uses Purile Shallow Humour To Criticise Dumbing Down

Idiocracy (2006)

What, you want more? Well the basic gist is the classist eugenicist view stretching back at least as far as the Victorian era, that because less academic and cultured families are producing the majority of the children, the human race can only possibly go down the intellectual toilet as a result.

Andrew Garfield And Emma Stone Are Awesome (As If You Didn't Know Already). Check this out!

Naturally it's pretty hard to read those little signs in the picture above. Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield held those cards in front of their faces when the paparazzi were photographing them.

Emma Stone's card reads:

Good morning! We were eating and saw a group of guys with cameras outside. And so we thought, let’s try this again. We don’t need the attention, but these wonderful organizations do.

The card then finishes with an arrow pointing to Andrew Garfield's card. His card reads:

www.youthmentoring.org
www.autismspeaks.org

(and don’t forget:)

www.wwo.org
www.gildasclubnyc.org

Here’s to the stuff that matters. Have a great day!

Isn't that cool? Larger images of the individual cards are under the cut....
