"Idiocracy's" "Underground:" The future is now
Your devoted Mayor has already issued a proclamation to his dedicated constituency as to Mike Judge’s satire of America’s imbecilic future, “Idiocracy,� which its studio was doing its utmost to bury. Said film imagines America a half-millenium in the future, where the TV show “Ow! My balls!� is the No. 1 hit.
We hereby wish to clarify that film’s prescience. In the coming dark days, Showtime’s “The Underground� will clearly appeal more to lobotomized viewers. "Ow! My Balls!" is nuanced by comparison. We apologize for any confusion this may have inspired.
Anyone wishing to see “Idiocracy� better do so today; Fox will surely vacuum it from our collective memories by Friday.
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.

"Idiocracy" must be only playing in LA. I'm going to have to wait until Blockbuster has it. That is, if the studio ever releases it on DVD.
