Stupidity is an action-packed comic exploration of the issue of willful stupidity in the modern world. Stupidity sets out to determine whether our culture is hooked on deliberate ignorance as a strategy for success. From Adam Sandler to George W. Bush, from the IQ test to TV programming, to the origins of the word moron, Stupidity examines the "dumbing down" of contemporary culture. Stupidity embarks on an exhaustive search into its meaning, and the implications of a culture that is obsessed and saturated with stupefying culture. Stupidity careens at warp speed through sound bites on topics from television news and reality TV shows, to Internet sites and popular films. Featuring opinions and comments from some of today's most recognizable figures, cultural critics, authors and academics, including John Cleese, Noam Chomsky, Selma Hayek and Bill Maher, Stupidity reveals that, despite our culture's extensive access to knowledge and information, humans continue to choose stupidity.

Stupidity is a provocative, hilarious investigation into the history and significance of human stupidity as a cultural force. Directed by Albert Nerenberg and produced by Trailervision in association with The Documentary Channel, Stupidity made its world premiere at the 2003 Hot Docs film festival, where it immediately sold out all screenings. Clever, ironic, and—above all—outrageously funny, Stupidity is not to be missed!
