Time to Dump Gump

This is the twentieth anniversary of "Forrest Gump" and it's being treated like some kind of cinematic event. Personally I think "Gump" is one of the most detestable movies ever made. On the surface it's basically an excuse for the Great Baby Boomer Sell-Out; after that generation gave up on the dreams of "Changing the World" the only goals they had left were to make a pile of money and marry their High School crushes. But Gump had another purpose the slogan of "Stupid is as Stupid does" was a crucial point in the cultural dumbing down of America. How we went from "Stupidity is funny" to "stupidity is adorable" was largely due to what may be called "Gumpism." The Presidency of George W. Bush was based on him pretending to be Gump. The whole charade was a clever trick by the Big Media to pretend to love the ignorance and stupidity of the most backwards elements in the country (whom they actually despise, of course) while actually maintaining their sense of superiority. Now the same media is becoming infatuated Rick "shit for brains" Perry. Perry would make a worse President than GWB, but the only way that any President could be worse would be by destroying the country.

Maybe it's time that we remember to think with our brains.
