Jeremy -- Oh, jeez, you win. Why does that stuff ("hommages" in "Ren and Stimpy" and "Simpsons" [and "Hot Shots Part Deux"]) make me feel like my cultural heritage has been plundered? Seems to me like the comic equivalent of sentimentality, defined as "unearned emotion." I must be too pompous for POMO.
