Hello all,
I am a teacher and I want to use an episode of Futurama to illustrate a moral issue. Can anyone think of one?! I've been looking through all my boxed sets but can't find anything appropriate. Anything about lying, cheating, stealing (Bender basically!) or maybe war. Which is the episode where Zoidberg ends up at war with earth?
Any help hugely appreciated!

The Zoidberg episode is called a taste of freedom! Also I would recommend, 1. Insane in the membrane, this one is to do with stealing! Also welcome to peel!

Thanks people! Am looking them out now and settling down to remind myself. They're kids of about 13 so should be fine.
Great forum - thanks for the welcome!

It needs to be something they get, are possibly familiar with and it needs to be fairly lighthearted as an introduction. Everybody uses The Simpsons but it's kind of been done to death! It's just to get them started thinking about the sorts of things that are moral issues (war, stealing, capital punishment etc etc). I think Futurama has loads on these issues!
Good suggestions though - I will find something in one of them.
Cheers!

Or 300 Big Boys to say "Don't steal"
Or "don't become so engrossed in material items and money that you forget what is closest to you--your friends. Because money may go away, but your friends will always be there for you." Oh wait that is A Fishful of Dollars. The Route of All Evil shows the importance of not taking shortcuts to do your work. It could apply to homework, maybe?

Or listen to the audio commentary for "300 Big Boys" to teach children how to pronounce "Ambergris"

A non-stupid reply. war, stealing, capital punishment
War: War is the H Word (so much stuff on xenophobia and propaganda) Stealing: Take your pick.... Capital Punishment: Erm, A Tale of Two Santas, maybe the end of Why Must I be a Crustacean in Love. That is quite assumptive of you
That's based on observation.
