      Quotable line there for any time someone uses the “we’re in Idiocracy now”. We’re in the first draft version of the movie, where they realized no one was going to watch such a depressing dystopia.

      I’m beginning to think Matrix was right in some scope. We are in a simulation, only we are AGI in that world (all or maybe some of us only) and the creators are messing around with variables to see how much can be taken or modified from a realism setting before we break. And they’re finding that we’re very resistant to breaking, accepting the most ludicrous scenarios.

        Hey, if the President is looking to have boxing matches at the oval office like Teddy did, then sign me up. Teddy faught in those fights. Believe he got blinded in one eye from a fight as well.

    I hope every Muslim fighter mercs every maggot. But I doubt there will be any Muslims on the card. So hopefully it’s just hours of lay and pray.

    Sad thing is there is nothing wrong with hosting a sporting event at the white house. Its every thing around it that’s wrong
