| Mr Khan said: Idiocracy has come true, i guess. |
That was my exact thought when watching the Tucson Memorial. The speakers* did a fine job, especially Daniel Hernandez who seems like a really remarkable person, but the crowd might as well have been extras from Idiocracy. Whooping and hollering at the names of the dead like the Phoenix Suns Gorilla was performing trampoline slam dunks, and more than a few boos for Gov. Brewer. I had a bad feeling when I saw that they were branding the event and again when I read that concessions would be open, but fucking wow.
* Except for the President of UA, whose delivery was about as off-key as the crowd's behavior. I kept expecting him to say, "YA'LL MAKE SOME NOOOOOYYZE!" He was like an old, white Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.
