A showing of cartoon commentary on the social issues of our time. Come
see these before they become illegal. Some episodes may be
inappropriate for cats and mice.
The tenative program, subject to change without notice, is:
Itchy & Scratchy & Marge - After watching an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon,
Maggie bonks Homer in the head with a hammer. When this happens, Marge vows
to eliminate violence in cartoons.
Mr Lisa Goes To Washington - Thanks to Lisa's patriotic and winning
essay in a Reading Digest contest, the Simpsons win a trip to Washington DC.
However, Lisa's faith in democracy is shaken when she sees her local
representative taking a bribe for a permit to cut down Springfield
National Forest.
Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie - When Bart fails to keeps an eye on Maggie
and puts her life in danger, Homer finally puts his foot down on Bart's
mischief by passing the ultimate punishment: Bart can never see "The
Itchy and Scratchy Movie".
There's No Disgrace Like Home - After seeing family bliss at the recent
family picnic, Homer sells the TV and goes to a psychiatrist advertised on TV.
NOTES: First scenes of Itchy and Scratchy.
[This is a great "Family Values" episode]
The Front - After watching a particularly bad "Itchy and Scratchy"
cartoon, Lisa and Bart ghost write their own using their grandfather's name.
Meanwhile, Homer takes night school to make up a missing science credit.

sorokin (Jessie Stickgold-Sarah):
KEN & BARBIE
by greta ward
i'm raising my sons
to be omniverous
not to waste their time
searching for
cinderella wasp waist
vapid victim maidens
all cream corn and sugar
no meat nothing to chew
i'm teching my sons
to be vociferous
god's last will and testament
left the meek nothing
save their romantic and
poetic notions of love
my kids will
understand
that freedom to choose
means there are always
more choices
than appear on the list
