BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
by Meg White

I'm starting to get nervous. Halloween is fast approaching and I still haven't thought of a costume. But earlier this week I did come up with a fallback option: I could always be a demographic bomb. After all, what's scarier than a "major social and economic upheaval not seen in the Western World since the Dark Ages?"

Such is the warning from Demographic Bomb: Demography is Destiny. The hour-long "documentary" is a sequel to the "movie" Demographic Winter: The Decline of the Human Family, released in February 2008 by Family First Foundation and described by Kathryn Joyce (author of Quiverfull: Inside the Christian Patriarchy Movement) as a re-branding of the "old-fashioned race panic as low fertility among white 'Western' couples coincides with an increasingly visible immigrant population across Europe." The movement calls itself "pro-family," but it seems focus on a specific type of social organizing unit called the "natural family."

1. Eh.
"Idiocracy" used more or less the same premise (just different demographics) and was a lot more entertaining than this thing probably is.
