The WHO has identified a serious outbreak of Alta Stultitia, or, Deep Stupidity that may become a Pandemic. Concurrently and espousing his popular policy of ‘Greed with Care,’ Dimple Potts has won the seat of Peapod in Auckland, New Zealand. The PM hoped to side-line him by appointing him Minister of Foreign Affairs in the new government, but alas, Pott’s pronouncement that he agrees with the view of middle-aged men everywhere, that it is better to nuke the Moon as a precaution against it falling to Earth, attracts the attention of the American military. Potts finds himself, unwittingly, a 'player,' in the International Nuclear Validation Festival instigated by the Pentagon, which is determined to unleash the largest nuclear bomb ever made, on the Moon. With little apparent natural aptitude in any capacity, Potts dreams of entrepreneurship, and is gulled by the unscrupulous Corker Pritchard into believing that he, Potts, is the founder of the enterprise manufacturing 'Brainee,' the pill endorsed by Darwin, which purports to reverse the obvious signs of stupidity. The Moon will be nuked, and unexpectedly, the fate of the world is in the hands of Montana hog farmer, Hank Simmons.
