Perfect for Friday night. I laughed at how silly some people are, but it's actually pretty serious. What's that recent scifi film with the class based society? I can't remember the name... "Hunger Games"..? Oh not so recent. I'm showing my age. Maybe ideas were borrowed from "Brave New World".

Don't be quiet.
