Fly Molo posted:also the grimes episode is crack-ping: the episode, it’s amazing. Frank Grimes is an amazingly dark and wonderful episode. Despite being written by a right wing libertarian, it's a perfect look at the failures of capitalism and the exploitation of honest labor by the system that the writer worships. Those already integrated into the system and safe from it, like Homer and Bart (respectively members of the bourgeois and, in this episode, the land owning classes), are immune from the changes and challenges presented by hard work and toil. Men like Grimes, who do not own property, who are not protected by their bosses, are subject to every disgrace imaginable, despite believing in a Randian dream in which hard work is rewarded.  The collision between how Grimes believes the world ought to work, and how it actually works, results in his *Crack* *Ping*, and, because he is not the capitalist superman he thought he was, he dies accidentally by his own hand. In a different system, Grimes would have been rewarded by the collective for his hard work, and would live the life of an honest worker, rather than striving to impress Burns, and being discarded at his whim. A Good Episode.
