Cubert Farnsworth Other Improve the voice actors' articles Change all references to episodes to be in-line citations. See Planet Express Ship for an example of how to do this.

Temporal Paradox!

This snippet doesn't make sense to me: The episode was nominated for the Environmental Media Award in 2003.[10] Al Gore's appearance in the episode, spoofing An Inconvenient Truth, was also listed as one of the 20 best animated politicians by The Phoenix.[7]

The problem herein is that An Inconvienient Truth was not released until 2006. The episode aired in 2003. How can Gore have been spoofing something that didn't exist yet? Unless time travel is involved, this needs some editing.--71.110.43.95 (talk) 02:33, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps he really has "001100010010011110100001101101110011" tattooed onto his buttocks! But you're right, that appearance is only spoofing Gore's stance on environmentalism, not An Inconvenient Truth itself, so it's been removed. ~Matticus ^U_C 10:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources for "A Big Piece of Garbage"?

An anon editor noted [1] that information from "A Big Piece of Garbage" should be included in the environmentalism section. Unfortunately, as evident from the episode's own article, I have had difficulty finding any sources discussing that particular episode.It does seem like some mention should be made so if anybody has anything they could add and cite...
