Why are you voting this guy down? It's a quote from Idiocracy.



Is that supposed to be a reason? How does being a quote from Idiocracy make it worth posting?


1. Because this isn't reddit. Random quotes add little to the discussion.

2. Because it misses the point, in that the problem is the author, not everyone else being stupid.


No humor allowed. Got it. Thanks.


I said nothing regarding humour.


I didn't vote him down, but without quotation marks or attribution, it simply looks like a slam toward the author. And I haven't seen the movie often enough to recognize the quote immediately. (I've seen it once, and the only quote that I remember is from the Costco greeter.)


It also doesn't help that the remark is homophobic.
