One more “Idiocracy” cult signifier
According to my queue list on Netflix.com, there’s a “Long wait” for “Idiocracy.”
Says the site’s help section, a “Long wait” means: “There’s considerably more demand than available copies for this movie. It’s unlikely that we’ll be able to send you this movie within the next week or two. The wait time in this instance is generally less than 30 days.”
Does somebody (Mike Judge, you out there?) want to lend Netflix a few more copies?

i’m surprised blockbuster has as many copies as it does. i rented it, me n my friends watched it, and loved it. i didn’t even notice it in theatres, but i’m lookin to buy it asap.
welcome to costco. i love you.
Omar responds: Netflix is now listing it as available now, so it might have been a temporary gurgle in their system.

My guess is that Mike Judge is still in denial about making Idiocracy at all right now. We bought the DVD (after seeing the movie twice in theaters), figuring we’d help get that whole cult thing underway.
