"old people don't need companionship
they need to be isolated and studied to see what useful nutrients we can obtain from them."

4. Homer is a cartoon character.
"The Simpsons" is satire.

In a tautological way? He's a fucking cartoon character. The show is wonderful satire. Smooches back.

9. i scratched my head wondering
why you would state the obvious. as if these ideas had not occurred to anyone else.

but my point was the humor aspect, not identifying descriptors.

unless of course you were using satire.

10. Sorry if I missed the point of your original post.
But you did say that you couldn't believe Homer said that old people should be used for nutrients. And I merely replied that he's just a cartoon. Yes. the writers are satirists. One of my favorite satirical pieces is Jonathon Swift's piece justifying eating Irish babies to alleviate the Great Hunger in Ireland.
