Regarding an edit in "Cultural references" by 68.99.55.47

  • In the sequence where all of the prisoners are being rounded up on to the bus to the prison, Chief Wiggum states, "Hey, where's Sideshow Bob, and that guy who likes to eat people and take their faces and boobs?" an obvious reference to the notorious murderer Ed Gein, known for his habit of killing people and taking their faces after he finished consuming them.

The bolded segment was added by 68.99.55.47, while the trivia statement itself has been present for a long time without ever having a reference about "boobs". Personally, this looks like vandalism to me, but I don't have much of a means to verify the factualness of this edit. Is this a genuine line from the episode? Or is this vandalism?

Vandalism or a failed attempt at "humour." Anyhow, I suspect the reference is more likely to Hannibal Lecter rather than to Ed Gein. Thoughts?

"Trivia"

Article contains the line: "Even though Col. Hapablap stated there's "not a cloud in the sky", there's some stratus clouds shown in the background as Sideshow Bob transports his nuclear warhead." ... Jesus H Tapdancing Christ. I would remove this but I am too stunned. Could someone else oblige?Garrick92 13:38, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes. --123.51.103.64 (talk) 03:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Integration of trivia

Some of it seems very forced. I'm going to work on this but some of it will need to be removed.

In the cultural references section there appears this item:

This is not a cultural reference, it's a trivia item. I'm removing it for now, but it's here in case anyone wants to try and integrate it into the plot section.

  • At one point they show a "Hangar 18" which has an alien in it. Megadeth has a famous song called "Hangar 18" which is about knowing too much military intelligence, is this worth noting in some form or another? 129.107.81.12 (talk) 21:42, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Alternative title?

This episode is billed on the Sky EPG as "S is for Sideshow Bob". Is this worthy of inclusion? Billwilson5060 (talk) 10:24, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Lead

  • Paragraph 1, line 5 - Typo, needs to be "He escapes while on work duty"
  • Para 2, ln 3 - Typo, "was left in the finished version"
  • Para 2, ln 3 - Typo/grammar - should be "It was the first episode of The Simpsons to be directed by Dominic Polcino, who described it as being very difficult to direct."
