Recent Simpsons episode
In last Sunday's episode of the Simpsons, Homer and Marge bring Bart to a Psychology centre after he acted up at a funeral. There was a sign on the building that read "Child Psychology Center. Where imaginary friends come to die."
It's a good thing Mac and Bloo don't live in Springfield, otherwise Bloo might be in trouble! And not what for what he caused. |

Foster's Legend

Reminds me of that comic I saw made by some [mule] who did a comic of Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin doing homework, Hobbes proclaims the homework isn't due till Friday. Can we go play outside instead? Calvin says he can't, he wants to get it done and his mum says the pills are working.
Final panel was of Hobbes as a toy again, sat across from Calvin and the colours were black and white. |

Stuff like that is why often wonder the underlying moral themes of a seemingly lighthearted show like this. Such barbarism would NEVER be legally commited by psychologists/psychiatrists in the show's in-universe, because imaginary friends are living beings like humans... but I get the feeling that IFs are looked upon negatively by general society, especially those who think normal is good and equate difference in any shape and form with mental illness. And it doesn't help that Madame Foster, the very founder of the shelter for abandoned imaginary friends, is more-or-less genuinely crazy.
That's all I want to say on the matter for now. As somebody who has Asperger's Syndrome and knows what it's like to be an outcast in life, my thoughts on this are a little personal. Last edited by Voxxyn; 09-22-2006 at 02:43 PM. |

"Foster's Goes to Springfield", that sounds like it could be an interesting episode/fan-fic. I can almost imagine Terrance trying to trick Bloo to going to that Psycholgy office. And Bloo ends up on "Death Row" Now Mac, Frankie, and the other IF's have to save him before it's too late. They could also rescue the other death row IF's too.
While we're on the topic of Foster's and the Simpsons, I kinda think that Ralph Wiggum may have imagined one of the imaginary puppies from "Who Let the Dogs in?" In an older episode, Ralph had an imaginary puppy that could fly. Perhaps that could be how the Foster's crew ends up going to Springfield. How Terrance would get there is still up in the air. |
