“Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” the spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Independent.

This is the official response. You'd best start believing in Idiocracy, you're in one.

When I first saw Idiocracy when it was perhaps a year or three old, I thought it was stupid. I loved the premise but thought the movie was stupid and too exaggerated. That it would be funnier if it were less over the top.

I admit that I was wrong about it being exaggerated. But I was right that it would be funnier otherwise because it wouldn't have been so prescient.

I read that they got the audience to laugh at the ass movie without prompting them.

We're fucked.

You don’t think they were actually laughing for 90 minutes straight, do you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

If they'd needed 90 minutes they might've been able to get it, but I think they probably stopped filming after a few minutes because that's all they needed for the movie.

Hey, the President in the movie recognized that there was someone smarter than him and got him to help solve a major problem. That's actually better than Trump did.

They're actually mistaking Adam Kinzinger and Rudy G?
