I find it absolutely amazing that in the '70s, they took the then-current trends, and take them to the most absurd ends that they could possibly imagine, only to see fifty years later that their absurdities would actually become normalized and accepted by a disturbingly large segment of the world's population. Everyone has seen the scene in The Life of Brian where Eric Idle's male character thinks he's oppressed because biology prevents him from being pregnant. They also predicted the rise of furries in their TV show. I didn't know that reductio ad absurdum was a path that entire cultures could be built around, but there we are.
