To keep the "low-drives" pacified, the "hi-drives" give them a constant flow of crappy reality television, culminating with a family stuck on an island with a psycho killer. It's a satire on media culture that feels more prescient today than in the 1960s —



And this do's not happen today?

It's been so long since I had seen it that I completely forgot about her being in that picture.

LOL, it's the first film I think of when I think of her, before even Logan's Run.
