• This story reminds me of the movie Idiocracy. For those that haven't seen it, it's a Mike Judge comedy set 500 years in the future, where idiocy has been selected for (in the Darwinian sense), and the most popular television show is called "Ow, my balls!" It's obviously meant to be a satirical take on today's seemingly ever-declining intellectual standards, extrapolated to some future state where, among other things, people have come to adopt brands such as Frito, Hormel and Velveeta as their names, quite possibly in in the guise of some kind of sponsorship agreement.
  
  For anyone who thinks this is a good dea, I strongly urge you to read Naomi Klein's "No Logo." And if this is too much of an effort (which is likely to be the case), then please just stop procreating. In reply to: "Teen shows why you should change your name to Apple.com"
