Too late.
Beyond the eugenics and general elitism, my least favorite thing about Idiocracy is that most of its fans seem to think they're the poor, outbred geniuses when the reality is they just can't get laid.
Terry Crews can only carry the burdens of that movie so far.
Idiocracy is a fascinating movie. The first time i remember it being mentioned online, people were like: haha people are stupid and getting dumber. A few years later when Idiocracy was mentioned, the notion was: actually you didn't understand the movie, the movie is about mediocrity and people laugh about the dumb people are stupid. Then for two or three years now we seem to be back at: haha the movie is funny because people are getting dumber. But i already see a shift in the Idiocracy force.
My only real goal in life is to not be interrupted while baitin' and watching Ow My Balls.
You mean Terry Crews who willingly participated in an Amazon commercial and was defending it after a shit storm. That Terry Crews?
Yes, he's better than you
For being s hypocrite, I agree, he is better than me.
Something tells me your morals are a whole lot more variable for commercial endorsements than what Crews can charge.
Looks like your you dabble a lot in hypocrisy like him.
Looks like you're an internet activist who's ignoring all his other efforts, because you think, what, the ex-NFL player and actor is anti-capitalist?
Looks like you are a blind fan cosplaying as a wannabe moral compass following a hypocrite that supposed to be a role model. Both failing spectacularly.
