All 20 copies of “Idiocracy” were checked out, darn it

January 22nd, 2007 by Aabra

According to the Food Marketing Institute, the most frequently shoplifted items include Preparation H, batteries, condoms, and baby powder (buh?) I guess some of these must have re-sale value, or can be traded for drugs. It gets weirder– in 2005 meat topped the list. Supermarkets have since figured out to put the meat behind counters.

But not… why the hell would anyone shoplift baby formula?? Are there cheap parents picking up dusty, dented formula in dark alleys? “Psst! Hey lady! Your kid hungry? Give him this, real nice, good deal!” Maybe baby formula’s expensive, I don’t know. They should’ve swiped the condoms first.

* Bush: I don’t view Iraq as a broken egg. I view it as the cracked egg. We can keep it from fully cracking. That just hurts my head…

* How Bush’s “home” state handles global warming: Build an 18-lane highway instead of a commuter train.

* Ze is going to Hollywood?? So, is he a sellout, or a pomo sellout who’s still cool? Confusing…

* Average IQ rates around the world. We’re below Europe, no surprise, but what on earth is going on in Australia??

* After watching this clip from Idiocracy, I wonder if Fox or its many corporate sponsors ever visited the set, or bothered to read the script. How on earth was this movie made? And why were all 20 copies at Videorama checked out this weekend??
