    The movie is a satire on commercialism. Do you also think HG Wells’ Time Machine is about eugenics?

    If you like, ignore the first 4 minutes and assume a virus made everyone stupid. The movie still works and there isn’t any further hint of eugenics.

    The eugenics angle of Idiocracy is pushed by corporate PR so that companies like Starbucks are not associated with handjobs.
