In which life imitates art. Or fart, seemingly.

We laughed longer and harder (heh heh, you said harder, heh heh) at Idiocracy last night than at anything we've seen in a lonnnnng time.

I thought it was timely after the Masshole election results Tuesday and yesterday's idiotic Supreme Court sellout. Yet there were no exact parallels in current events to the devolution of American society depicted in the film.

Until this morning, anyway:

Burger King announces new "Whopper Bar" that will sell beer

Just as we witnessed the complete deconstruction of the Fuddruckers restaurant chain in the movie, it can be only a matter of time before naked hunks are selling themselves as the Whoppers at said bar, and until the name of the chain goes from Burger King to Buttock Kiss.

Supersize me!

This is idea whose time has come. I recall beer and wine being sold in McDonalds in Italy, for example, where they have a more civilized view of beer and wine as food products not Satan's thirst-quencher. And, for what it's worth, the Big Mac there was significantly better than what I get in the US. Even more, they had a very good salad bar.

I presume you already know the story, though.

Ben was just telling me about Idiocracy...last weekend, I think? He said that we needed to watch it. So the fact that someone else whose opinion I respect likes it, means that I really do need to see it.

That was a very poorly-worded sentence.

I don't think they still do, but Long John Silvers used to sell beer when I was in high school and college. I think they're the only fast food place I've ever known to do that.
