	You mean exactly as in Blood Feud?  We've seen this behavior before,
so it isn't unexpected from Burns.  Plus, we got to see Tom Jones chained

   And just what is "real" humor?  I think humor is subjective...what's
funny to some may not be funny to others.  For me, the episode contained
quite a bit of humor.  :)

   Gee, just two days before "Marge Gets A Job" you were treated to "Itchy &
Scratchy : The Movie", and already you're expecting more?  Don't get me
wrong, the I&S skits are hilarious, but you *can* have too much of a good
thing.  SNL killed both the Church Lady and the Pathological Liar from over-
exposure.  This *could* happen to I&S if the mutilation-methods aren't
kept interesting and different.  IMHO, of course.

So you weren't repulsed by the violence in the I&S cartoons, then?

I advise you not to have any kids.  I've seen the children of parents who
freak out at the thought of their kids seeing something like this on TV.
They're not happy kids.  They're not well-adjusted kids.  They're the kind
of kids who wind up with compulsive or addictive personalities, trying
desperately to deal with a world where it's somehow wrong to even LOOK at
the underside of life. 

Parents who don't let their children watch The Simpsons: the most repulsive
set of people I can think of.

The bit about leaving the vice-president in charge was clearly a Quayle
reference, spoofing the media's habit of going right from the most
tragic story directly into an upbeat fluffy one.  (Just watch Kent
Brockman's mouth as he segues to the "sinking house" piece.)

I'm sure I've seen the gas-from-the-suitcase trick exactly as done in
the Simpsons in either a Bond film or on TV.  The idea of going to the
trouble of rigging up the suitcase just to spray gas on someone struck
me as odd at the time.

Somebody's already posted:

DYN the number for problems with the Krusty doll: 1-900-DONT-SUE

But nobody's commented on the fact that this is a *1-900* number. (In case
these don't exist outside of North America, there is an additional charge
for calling 1-900 numbers, something like $2.00 for the first minute and
75 cents for every minute thereafter. These numbers have been used as a
source of revenue/merchandising for such things as New Kids On The Block,
Santa Claus, and, of course, various Krusty stuff.) This means that it
costs money (and a fair bit of it) to complain, ``Your doll's trying to 
kill my husband! Yes, I'll hold.'' :-) (Note that by asking Marge to
hold, they get even *more* money. Krusty's merchandisers may be a lot
of things, but they're not stupid! :-)

I agree that it is quite irritating to see gross inconsistencies, such
as the aforementioned house switch, doorknob switches, character clothes
changes, etc. The fact that it is a cartoon is WHY these are so 
irritating. The Simpsons guys put in everything themselves; the least
they can do is make sure they are consistent. Because it is a cartoon, 
every detail is pretty important. BTW, if you consider the 
Simpsons a f**cking cartoon, why do you even bother reading a Simpsons
newsgroup? Don't waste your time!
