It’s a funny movie. But I get what you’re saying, people use it as an example of why the real world is going downhill, and those people are unknowingly promoting eugenics.

The movie itself doesn’t promote anything. Don’t blame Mike Judge for stupid fandoms.

Are you claiming that the movie doesn’t have a political message?

I’ll bite. Besides the 5 minute plot device intro that is never referenced again in the entire movie, what message does it have? I could see maybe a vague anti corporate message, but all of the movie seems tongue in cheek, including the intro.

And if eugenics is the only political message you can think of, at least we can both be glad it failed and that this comedy movie has only been taken as a joke.

i don’t subscribe to that idea. if it didn’t promote anything it wouldn’t be brought up constantly.
