Yes it's just one of the many signposts on the road to Idiocracy
Can we start making fun of people who invoke Idiocracy the way we do people who invoke 1984?
I don't see why you would, as they are both highly relevant to the shit sandwich our world has become with dumbasses breeding more dumbasses everywhere, and authoritarian surveillance systems watching us everywhere.
The biggest thing no one notices in Idiocracy is that they were still smart enough to find the smartest man alive to fix the problem.
