Talk:Rod and Todd Flanders

message: I have edited the information boxes to the right of the article to reflect the ages that have been heard on screen. Height is not a reliable indication of a child's age (especially a pre-pubescent one). Todd was mentioned as being ten at the golf tournament and Rod turned ten in season 7. Obviously we have to take the "true" age of any television character with a grain (or entire bag) of salt but I believe it is more accurate to give the on-screen ages instead of saying "probably 10" and "probably 12". However, if future episodes contradict past episodes it will be worth noting in the "age discrepancy" section I have created.

message: Which of them actually said this? ("I'm jealous of girls, because they get to wear dresses")  The article says it was Rod, but this contradicts http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Simpsons which quotes Todd.  Google results are mixed, but seem to sligtly favour Rod. Gavinatkinson 13:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Infoboxes 

message: It has been suggested the two are gay or suffering from gender confusion. Rod stated in 'Tis the Fifteenth Season he was jealous of girls because they get to wear dresses. In Bart to the Future, an episode depicting the future, Ned thanks Bart for not outing Rod and Todd who are shown bare-chested washing a cabinet in a slightly feminine way whilst wearing tight denim cut-off shorts and sporting mustaches, known as the Castro clone style fashionable in gay culture in the 1980s and popularized by Freddie Mercury.
Rod and Todd are both extremely sheltered from girls as their father consider girls to be a temptation along with rock and roll music. In another future-set episode, "Future-Drama" Bart's girlfriend mentions she wants to make love to him on prom night, and becomes disappointed when he denies her. She says, "I never had this problem with Todd Flanders!", implying a strong, though latent, sexuality in the boy. Also, in Home Away From Homer, Ned moves away and then moves back to Springfield. When announcing this to the boys, Rod says he has a girlfriend. Benjiboi 22:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
