• European here, what is this Brawndo?

    EDIT: Briefly forgot I could google it.

    It’s a fictional energy drink from the movie Idiocracy (which has long been on my to-watch list)

    • When that came out, it was a way over the top silly movie.
      Watching that now may prove to be a very different experience.

        I would kill for a dystopian future where, although stupid, the people aren’t filled with hatred. Seems like we are headed for the hate-filled idiot future…

        • Also the society wide sexual confidence behind the use of the term “Bait’n” in public.

        Everyone wears Crocs because the costume designer thought they were the stupidest thing they’d ever seen.

    • I had idiocracy on my list for a while. After watching it, I can confirm that it’s easily one of the best movies ever made.

  • I hope that those pants are rated for chemicals, they have been dumping shit in that water for days to clear up the bloom.

    Are these the vandals they’re arresting for pouring in corrosive chemicals, walking in the pool, and scraping off the poorly done, poorly conceived paint job?

  • People generations from now are going to feel the embarrassment. That’s how potent it is.

    • If you shock it, that kills the algae, right?

      Then where does it go? There’s physical remnants left behind. That doesn’t just disappear.

      Just like you have to skim a regular pool, I’m sure you want to keep solid waste out of the reflecting pool to keep from overwhelming a filtration system that’s simply not built for the load.

  • I thought brawndo was a mad-magazine-esque pun for kids based off a popular detergent logo from the early 80’s. Never saw idiocracy.

    • You have not yet lived until you’ve experienced the critically & audience adored future classic Masterpiece that will be… Ow! My balls!

      However, should you engage, be prepared to get your ‘batin’ interrupted during highlights.
