Coincidentally the latest episode of Simpsons had the smoothest blends of plots I've seen recently.

I genuinely thought this was a great episode. I laughed out loud more than I can ever remember doing in the last few seasons. How am I alone in this?

Wrong. One was of the pig, the other clearly of a man (Krieger)

How on earth was it implied that Krieger was fucking the pig? The X-rays clearly show one rod in the pig, and one in Krieger. Nothing to do with wangs. Krieger is creepy, but don't make up creep out of thin air.

That was pretty ridiculous, I could buy the Jor El hologram (could be done with mist-projection), but a green screen? Why not use a regular projection screen? OK, I'll be cool. For once. Once.

This whole article was lost upon me from never having watched a single episode of Sopranos. But I agree with the premise nonetheless.

There's an old Norwegian expression, possibly of racist origins, that explains what you went through. You've been "Shanghaied".
