Episode description

Idiocracy (2006)

Welcome to a future where advertising and automation rule the day and a Carls Jr can decide if you're an unfit mother. Capitalism!

Are we heading for an idiocracy? We're talking cryogenics is a scam, to have or not to have children, natural selection doesn't do that, eugenics=bad, the curse of terrible automation and the fear of a pseudo-intellectual future. Who knew such a crap movie would lead to such detailed conversations.
