Today, I got around to watching last night's Simpsons, and the American Dad and Family Guy from last week. Or was it two weeks ago? I can't remember. It was the AD where Roger played Snot's girlfriend, and the FG with Lois' sister (since when does she have one of those?) married Mayor West. I wonder if the marriage is going to be canonical. As for the most recent Simpsons, you'll notice that they didn't mention that the original Fat Tony had died. Since this guy presumably wasn't a widower and instead had a wife who looked to be much younger than him, I guess anyone who cares about continuity is supposed to assume this is the former Fit Tony. It was kind of weird that they referenced Koyaanisqatsi, since ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje just recently added that to our Netflix queue. They've actually made quite a few Philip Glass references on the show, though. The Bart and Lisa subplot was amusing, but I kind of wish it had tied in at least slightly with the main plot. I mean, both involved Italian-Americans, right? Also, have you noticed how, since the Simpsons Movie, every pig they've shown has had the little tuft of hair?
I don't think any of them did before that, although I guess we don't know for sure what's under Sir Oinks-A-Lot's hat.
Since I was working last night, however, I missed the television show everyone was talking about, which I believe was called We Got Bin Laden. Seriously, though, Beth texted me about it, and I came home and pretty much immediately made a joke on Twitter about how it might have been a lookalike instead, only to be admonished by at least two different people who said they'd already DNA-tested the body. I guess that'll show me to make a bad joke before getting the facts. At least I wasn't one of the approximately 20,000 people who said Donald Trump wants to see the death certificate, which was funny the first time, but not so much after that. Anyway, I've seen various opinions on the matter, and I think I agree with the people who say it's a relief, but not really a cause for celebration. I mean, there's a definite sense of closure to finally getting this guy we're supposed to have been after for years, and if anyone deserved to die it's definitely him. And while I'd like for him to have been put on trial, from what I've heard it was entirely his decision to go down fighting instead of surrendering quietly. Still, cheering about someone's death, even that of an utterly horrible person, makes me a little uneasy. I don't feel sorry or anything, just that that sort of seems to be stooping to his level. Oh, well.
Since I'm posting anyway, I might as well go ahead and include this survey that I got from SamuraiFrog.
