Stupidity The documentary: check out the trailer

[Room101]

This film by Elevator Films attempts to answer the question: How, when humanity is so advanced, can ignorance and stupidity be so rampant?

Trailer
It seems to be playing in artsy theaters.

Why this DUer loathes Joe and Jane public with no F-ing apologies.

I see an American populace that responds to emotions and instinctively resists reason. We have a Joe and Jane public that would have trouble distinguishing from a TV guide and our out of style Constitution. A “bewildered herd”(Lippmans term) that is more outraged at the sight of a burning American flag, than our Government consciously eroding our Constitution.

A public with apathy soaked minds more concerned with the exchange of Celebrity body fluids then the exchange of Tax burdens. The National Enquirer is the leading selling newspaper in America, and our mainstream press has morphed into people magazine. Countless families in living rooms watching a sermon by the cathode ray tube preacher. Doing anything but living working diligently on their staring skills.

How much time does the average proud to be an American citizen put in each day, listening and reading about what their illusionary public servants do or don’t do that directly effect their lives and future lives of their children? Why talk about such relative things when Barry Bounds is up at bat with a full count in the 9th inning, or Justin Timberland is dating what’s her tit? In this current culture of manufactured fear and warped notions of patriotism being proud has become a substitute to critical thinking and reason. Such distractions when exceeded in moderation lull its victims into willful ignorance and the politician’s best friend apathy.

This War was not about “Weapons of Mass destruction” or falsely perceived links to 911, it was about pride. People of Middle Eastern descent attacked us, and the “proud to be Americans”, “God bless American’s” and “United we kill” people just wanted to kill anyone who is of Middle Eastern descent. So they can feel like a winner again, how fucking sick. Pause for throwing up………..

Every night countless parents give into their laziness passing their kids off to the TV at bedtime, as if it had a hand in conceiving them. How we have grown to love our servitude generation after generation.

Oh, BRAVE NEW WORLD……
