thread_title: Scary Story Tune

message: When Dark Stanley's story is told, the animation is styled differently.  Does anyone know if it was referring to anything?  It was so precisely stylized, I figured it had to be a take of something else.  I recognized the music throughout the episode as being similar to the main theme from "12 Monkeys", but Bart's fictional story, and the style in which it is told, are something else.  Any ideas? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.137.26.36 (talk) 01:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought it was reminiscent of the artwork Edward Gory, especially his work The Gashlycrumb Tinies with the children drawn as little adults with oversized heads.  But this falls under the heading of original research, which will just earn us a smackdown.  We better wait for a supporting article or DVD commentary to come out. 69.37.10.148 03:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So why is the reference to Gorey still in the article?  I, for one, don't think Gorey inspired the Dark Stanley animation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.39.239.92 (talk) 18:49, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dark Stanley's Style 

message: I agree some of the jokes in the episode were not very funny (I got the coon and Jew jokes, but I wasn't laughing), but I hardly think there was a major outcry against them. Hence I removed the part of the article that suggested the blogosphere was up in arms. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.183.202.72 (talk) 07:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bad Taste? 

message: Was this episode structured strangely to anyone else?  Almost like a 'skit' episode, but not quite.  I mean, in the beginning you have the Dark Stanley part, the Willy-catches-the-kids montage, the multiple musical numbers... Was there something different in the way it was written?

message: If anything, your one source contradicts your claim that it was an intentional refernce because the one post says "It certainly wasn't intended to be racist - it was along the lines of Brandine drowning the rats in 'big Girl' - but I imagine that some might also find cletus "lynching a 'coon" quite rascist, if you have that imagery in your mind as a first reaction. It certainly might be taken as offensive, though..." It should be noted that the poster who wrote that is an insider from the show (I think he's one of the main cast member's lawyers). Either way, you can't just cite a couple blogs and forums. -- Scorpion 18:02, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

"Who are you to decide wether these sources are reliable?"
Incorrect. The references you are adding clearly fail to meet our Reliable source criteria, and therefore should not be added. The other problem is that the statements that "some viewers" and "some bloggers" were offended by this is what is known as weasel wording.HondasareGOOD (talk) 04:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: There seems to be a striking similarity between the fictional article titled "Effectiveness of Clozapine versus Olanzapine and Risperidone in Patients with Chronic Schizophrenia" by Dr. Stacey Swanson (see 3:39 of this clip) and an actual article below:
