[edit] Tiger Repelling Rock

Is there enough public knowledge/pop culture references to the "rock that keeps tigers away" for it to warrant a mention in the article? -- 18:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

It depends on if there are any reliable sources out there to prove that it's worth mentioning. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe there are plenty of examples of it being used in debates to question someone reasoning and such in a way similar to "I for one welcome out [noun] overlords" has entered pop culture, which I believe is mentioned here somewhere. However I think the phrase "Truthiness" has overtaken its popularity at the moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.125.194.232 (talk) 14:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it belongs in the specious reasoning article, rather than this one :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 23:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Issues of Race and Immagration in this Episode

This episode ends with Groundskeeper Willie being deported. Most immigrants to the United States are of color, so some Americans, where the majority of citizens are white, often don't realize that white immigrants exist. To some Americans, and I'm an American making this statement, immigrants of color are otherized while white immigrants are embraced as similar. This episode points to that double standard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chumley41 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
