The internet went down for three hours this morning, plunging the nation into productivity. The outage, which caused major work startages from New York to California, prevented an estimated 120 million American employees from messing around on the web at work.

Ran across this by accident. Quite hilarious in a really stupid no-holds-barred spoof of the idiotness that the American culture and the American way of life have become. A sort of Idiocracy that takes place in the present instead of the future.
Some of the gags ran a little flat, but somehow even that worked for making the sillier gags even more silly.
This movie is pretty much a rip on MSM, the shallowness that has become the American cultural landscape, and just about anything else the makers of the move happened to think of at the moment that was in need of having fun poked at.
Had me snickering and guffawing out loud several times.
Could have used a little tightening up here and there, but overall, very humorous.
Not at all recommended for watching by anal retentives. They will not find this movie funny.
