Talk:The Deep South (Futurama)

message: Does Delta hub really have anything to do with Delta Air Lines? I doubt it. Go Futurama! User:Sp3000 05:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, a Delta hub is an airport hub where Delta routes most of its flights through. This allows a city to do a lot of business near their airport for peopole who have to switch planes or have layovers. At least that is my understanding. 130.76.96.17 14:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

text: See Airline hub, which mentions that "Delta Air Lines (DL) uses Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) (the world's largest hub)".   Thuktun 20:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: * After Fry announces his intentions to stay underwater with Umbriel, Zoidberg invites him to come and visit his little house outside of town but "The Colonel" shakes his head and Fry says that he can't because he is trying to join the country club. This is a reference to the anti-Semitism that once ran rampant in the Deep South. This is one of many references to Zoidberg's Jewish-inspired origins, which is itself a joke because he is a shellfish, a food that Jews are forbidden to eat.
Isn't it more of a reference to the current racism in America where some golf courses still don't allow non-whites to play? Ozmodiar.x 03:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't think this is a direct reference to Colonel Sanders, but rather to southern gentlemen affecting that title.  I think that bullet in the trivia should be removed or modified.  Thuktun 20:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I thing this is supposed to be another reference to racial violence in the south...but I'm not sure...
:I'm pretty sure it's just supposed to serves as yet another example of the pathetic nature of Zoidberg's life, since it was caused by a cigar fire deep in the ocean, and not a white-hooded mob.  Shostie 18:20, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But then, Bender (whose cigar it was) certainly may have some murky motivations in that area.  He's certainly been involved with (robot) supremacists in the past.  I like the idea that it's another reference to racial violence, especially since this ties in more closely with Fry's "country club" statement. Meh222 (talk) 19:18, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

message: At what point was it implied in that episode that Krispy Kreme was headquarted in Atlanta? Just be cause they show a shop in the town doesn't imply that they are headquartered there. Sarujo (talk) 08:32, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
