I just think Futurama should still do things like that. I know you're not saying you think that, but then why did you bring it up? Just because it happens to be similar to something that happened afterwards, it means nothing. You're talking about writing an episode after it has ocurred, that's different. And you're also talking about a direct reference to September 11th, which is again another problem. You're talking about a direct link (or supposedly indirect link which will look direct) to something that has happened, and then using "Oh, this is vaugely similar to something that happened after". Anyway, Futurama is meant to be a social commentary? I've got no problem with that, but it's an overall commentary about life, not a specific commentary on particular events.

Again, you get what I said wrong. I meant that scene in BBA was funny, however, it would be difficult for Futurama to do an episode like that again because of 9/11.
In ATOF, DXC said that they wanted to see ships blasting buildings, but later had to change that due to 9/11. So, I think, Futurama should've done an episode that dealt with the matter in some way.
I would love to see scenes of ships crashing into things or about to crash into things on Futurama, just like in BBA because it would be funny. However we probably won't because some people will probably be offended, because there are still people who still can't get over 9/11. ie the victim's families. However, it doesn't matter now since Futurama may never come back.

First off, LampIncident, you need to calm down. If you don't like what I'm posting here, you have the option of not opening this thread, you know. I don't have the power of mind control and make you link to this thread and have to hear me talk.
@Tongue Luck, nice try at impersonating me, but not even close.
Here's how I feel about those episodes you mentioned.
Deep South: I thought that whole Zoidberg scene was creepy and strange, but still funny.
TCHR- Bender adopting 12 kids reminds me more of Cheaper By the Dozen, and I'm talking about the original not the lame remake. Also, it reminds me of Big Daddyx12, that's right I thought that movie was funny despite Adam Sandler being in it.
TLOF- Fry doing the moonwalk. I've seen so many people do it, that I can't associate with Michael anymore.
As for scenes involving trials, OJ comes to mind first, since his trial was the of century, but not enough to consider making an episode.
If I wanted to see Futurama do a Michael Jackson reference, it would have to be the Professor making Cubert fall off the balcony or something. Now that would be funny.
Anyway, I meant to say, good satire. I actually thought it was funny. I was aware it was satire, I just forgot to mention it.

I don't think that, that would be a very good idea, considering that most people don't want to be reminded of that day.

I do have something to say, I said I am staying out of this one. I never have received the rules of the posting, since I have registered. But, to me if it is not locked I am allowed to reply, otherwise they would of locked it, no? Originally posted by *Squeaky
*: *This thread died a long time ago along with "Members Only" jackets, iron on decals, and parachute pants.
* I don't recall seeing those threads. I was just browsing the page one nite. I can see besides the first page, from second page onwards in this forum lots of threads are locked. I go into the ones who are not, if I feel like posting something I just post. I don't see wot the big offence comes from, I didn't attack anybody, so why am I being attacked? Just because I bumped an old thread, it is that much of a big deal?

In the Futurama universe, New York has been destroyed at least twice by (probably) the Omicromians. An event that happened 1,000 years earlier and consisted of two buildings being destroyed would hardly compare to the complete destruction of the city (twice).

The Freedom Tower was never mentioned in Futurama. Nor should it be. 9/11 shouldn't be allowed to encroach on something as far-removed from it as Futurama. If it manages to pervade the conciousness of our society to that sort of a level, then the terrorists who perpetrated the attack have won, no matter what else happens. This event already gets way too much attention for something that happened five years ago... it's becoming the Kennedy Assasination of our era. Let's just leave it be. Perhaps thirty years later, we'll be able to make comedy that mentions it without becoming sombre and political, as Red Dwarf did with the actual story of the Kennedy Assasination ( ), but for now we need to let sleeping dogs lie.
