'Idiocracy' director Mike Judge says Fox stopped his anti-Trump ads

When news hit the internet in June that the makers of "Idiocracy" were going to make anti-Donald Trump ads featuring the movie's most memorable character, fictional president Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho (played by Terry Crews), people got excited.

But Mike Judge, director of "Idiocracy" (and creator of HBO hit "Silicon Valley") told The Daily Beast that the ads aren't going to happen.

This mirrors what Crews told us about why the ads weren't going to happen when we talked to him in July.

Judge also added that it wasn't looking good at Fox, which owns the rights to "Idiocracy." He thinks the network was stopping the okay to use anything "Idiocracy"-related for the ads.

"That's the other thing. I think there was a roadblock there, too," Judge said of Fox's involvement. "I just heard that they were put on the shelf, so it looks like they're not going to happen."

You can now file this under "too good to be true."
