Brawndo, It's Got Electrolytes. It's What Plants Crave

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the this-can't-be-real dept.

"This week's film blogs have been left aghast as Mike Judge's grotesque fictional energy drink Brawndo from the movie Idiocracy became a reality. To recap: Fox wouldn't support a film about Brawndo, the energy drink that destroys plants, debases the human race, and makes those who drink it 'win at yelling' but they are now putting wholehearted support behind the actual drink?" And if you haven't seen Idiocracy, you are missing out. It is the smartest stupid movie I've seen. Whoever did production design on that thing deserves an Oscar.

    Idiocracy is a terrible movie -- it's like Fox had a grade 8 social studies class try to write social and political satire. The only redeeming quality is the intro; after that the quality drops like a rock.

    For future reference, crotch injury and fart jokes are pretty much the antithesis of a 'smart' movie.

      Which points out, IMHO, the only redeeming quality of the movie: People who quote it identify themselves as idiots.

    They are regarded as alpha males because they don't shrink from the world into an over-intellectualized fantasy where having a great brain enclosed in a sack of human pudding is the pinnacle of achievement. After all, you didn't work for your intelligence. Why should you be special?

    We have all known people who were given every opportunity, every advantage in life, and still ended up stupid as a post.

    Yeah, part time high school teacher sounds like something to aspire to. Pay attention, we aren't talking about college.

    Who is this WE... I'm not part of WE. I don't want my kids NEAR a public school. Why should I be part of WE just to pay for YOUR benefit and see no benefit myself.

    You benefit from an educated populace. If you want a piece of that for educating your kid, it's a reasonable thing, though.

    Your side of the equation wants to strip me of a lot of things... not just cash. Why should I contribute willingly to the robbery and fleecing of me

    It's called taxation.

    YOUR kids have accidents with cars and drugs and alcohol, YOUR kids abuse tobacco

    And your kids are perfect, right?

    Seriously, teaching kids is important, but school isn't the place to learn those important things

    It's not like you have a better plan. You're just bitter.
