    Yup. Ok, we don't have President Mountain Dew yet... but doesn't Trump get us pretty darned close? We have already went beyond "Ow, My Balls!" with modern reality tv. Bottom line is Mike Judge was a hell of a optimist to think his dystopia required freezing the protaganist to get him into the future.

    Please remember that Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho was both a five-time ultimate smackdown wrestling champion and a porn superstar - thankfully Trump shows no sign at present of ticking either of those boxes.
