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

"Dee face of de Federal Reserve baluunce sheeet will prove to be a challuunge, it goes straight up", said Pierre Peteau an expert climber from France who will lead a 60 man team in his attempt to be the first man to reach the top. "De problum iz dat dee mountain,...... it keeps growing".
The Polish team is still digging at the base of the cliff at their attempt to be the first to reach the summit.
