Sci-Fi showing what's the future .. again


Decades (both funny and scary to admit it) ago had I bought my first Enki Bilal album "La foire aux immortels", " Jumalaton näytelmä" in Finnish. Great sleep like mix of pure fantasy and elements of
description of a dystopian future.
Over the past few years, in this era of ever more disgusting reality TV shows, from time to time I have been remembering Bilal's dystopian vision of sports - his future version of ice hockey.
Emergence and increasing popularity of so called mixed martial fights (like UFC and others like that) has kept remembering me of his vision. And now this: http://utblive.com/
Man, how freaking far we have gone in just 1-2 human generations...from a time when probably pretty much the whole global population just wished for peace to time where stupidity has no limits.
Welcome idiocracy... great movie by the way (from idea point of view, "maybe" not so much from it's artistic values).

Say No - it is great

"No thanks. Not interested." - what a wonderful & respectful response! Good straight forward fast "No" keeps thin...
