Looks like he'll be checking out college town, lucky them.
You know what I think is hilarious? Janelle Monáe and Mae Jemison will also be there. I feel bad about this for Jemison who deserves top billing because she's a fucking astronaut, but the ads I've seen give Janelle Monáe top billing with her name in huge text and a big photo. Shatner and Jemison's names are under her in much smaller text and their photos are much smaller and next to her big one. Like I said, I feel bad for Jemison, but it's somewhat made up by imagining the fit Shatner almost certainly threw when he found out he didn't get top billing.
The society of Idiocracy doesn't know who Jemison is without an explanation.
Lol at me, I needed context, and I have to Google Monae.
Shatner is just name recognition. I really don't care about actors and singer much. I at least respect science.
I also had to Google her. I had no idea who she was. I knew about Mae Jemison. I even remember her going up on the Space Shuttle because it was the 90s and she was still the first black woman in space, which was outrageous, especially because of who got us into space, but at least it finally happened... and of course I know who Shatner is. And I love that he got third billing. I just wish Jemison got top billing.
