Science fiction writer Ben Bova wrote:
The most prescient — and chilling — of all the science fiction stories ever written, though, is “The Marching Morons,” by Cyril M. Kornbluth, first published in 1951. It should be required reading in every school on Earth.

The point that Kornbluth makes is simple, and scary: dumbbells have more children than geniuses. In “The Marching Morons” he carries that idea to its extreme, but logical, conclusion.

Kornbluth tells of a future world that is overrun with dummies: men and women who don’t know anything beyond their own shallow personal interests. They don’t know how their society works, or who is running it. All they care about is their personal — and immediate — gratification.

A comedy with similar reference....Watch the trailer......click me

Holy Cow

Oh man.....I was walking home and my sneakers accelerated and I couldn't stop! Shit, I was like out of control for 5 miles before marathoner Salina Kosgei from Kenya ran ahead of me and instructed me how to slow down my runaway Nike's.
During my traumatic ordeal, I tried to reach down and untie my shoelaces hoping it would slow me down......it didn't work. They retied themselves.
I tried everything...... moon-walking..... polka....... skipping...... hopscotch...... stepping in gum .....nothing worked.
They only went faster.
So I called 911.
and then Salina showed up and told me to power walk and pick my nose at the same time and suddenly my sneaks came to a standstill.
Thank God for Salina.
What would I have done without her.

Nike has not recalled the sneakers as of yet but my attorney is handling my potential injuries and compensation for future nightmares.

Give me a fuckin break..........the guy said he drove 30 miles and.......and get this....Sikes said he reached down to try to pull the accelerator up, but it "stayed right where it was."
WTF?
Ok now if the 61 year old Sikes could do this.........

 
Then I could believe he reached down and grabbed the gas pedal while driving down the road at 90 mph.
But I will assume he can't......I have a bitch of a time putting my shoes on or picking stuff up off the floor.
Go ahead...............sit in your car and reach down and grab the gas pedal and then get back to me with the results.
And really.........would you drive 30 miles and not even try.......not even try to put the car in neutral?
How pathetic.
