"Like having sex with a tractor trailer in a parking lot": Idiocracy's trickle-down
An advertisement for Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator, a fictional energy drink from Mike Judge's deep-sixed satire Idiocracy [deep-sixed, theatrically, at least: it's on DVD] that consumers were urged to drink instead of water, which was killing crops when the dopey populace used it instead of water. What's going on here? I have not clue one. Note the 20th Century Fox logos, as well as NewsCorpFoxMySpace and FacebookBeacon links. [H/t Karina Longworth.]

Deep-sixed?? Not so! It's available for rent at at least one video store I know of! I know--I rented it there! But why hawk "Brawndo" on YouTube? I'm perplexed myself.
