Man, they had ZERO imagination.

Yeah, it's basically exactly like 1900 but ridiculous.

But even in 1900 they knew we were supposed to have flying cars, and they didn't even know what cars were!

I can't even tell what this one is supposed to be. Gay marriage? There is nothing futuristic in it at all. It just looks like a bunch of fancy homosexuals at some sort of event.
