I'm 50 and grew up reading sci-fi and lots of fiction, enjoyed watching it too, movies or TV shows.
The future that we have grown into is starting to look like a sad amalgam of Brave New World and 1984.
Though categorized as Comedy, there are many prophetic moments in Idiocracy that I see play out every day.

“It’s nothing more than collecting and utilizing data. We may not like to admit it, but the truth of the matter is that those that own and operate motorcycles are 67% more likely to be involved in illegal or criminal activity than those that do not own or operate a motorcycle.” government official Darrin Cornia

I wonder if Darrin knows that government officials are 100% more likely to be corrupt, power hungry, megalomaniacs than those that are not government officials?

Heh, I thought they weren't supposed to profile by religion. ;roughrider;

"... those that own and operate motorcycles are 67% more likely to be involved in illegal or criminal activity than those that do not own or operate a motorcycle ... It’s the same as firearms ..."

Snopes says this false and that National News is a fake news site:

"... Although the National Report is a well known fake news site, many readers were fooled by the story ..."

I stand by my characterization of the modern world but will retract that "article" from my arsenal.
Regarding this "fake news" site, it claims to be a satire site but I'm not seeing it, just stories that aren't true.
HERE'S some MC related satire!
