The Beatles References[edit]

I am sure that someone is aware that the scene in which the old people play around on the grass is a parody of a scene in "A Hard Days Night", the album cover is parodied over the closing credits as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.188.211.200 (talk) 13:15, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The song of the kids[edit]

the song the kids sings for the olympic comitee doesn't have the music of the song "la felicidad" of palito ortega? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.255.46.144 (talk) 04:59, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great for the family?[edit]

What on Earth does the article mean by,

"This episode is great for the family." ?

This line needs to be explained, elaborated upon or removed altogether.

Fair use rationale for Image:Aabf16.jpg[edit]

Image:Aabf16.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Pass/Fail:

Comments[edit]

Indicate 6.9 million viewers watched the episode in the lead (some might not understand the Nielsen rating)
Wikilink Milhouse and Martin
Why does Homer's hatred of Bart cause him to fail miserably? It's been a while since I saw this episode
Abe -> Grampa (change?)
Last three sentences in cultural ref section need citations
Make sure sentences with quotes end with citations
Wikilink ref publishers (Pioneer Press etc)

Just make the above fixes and the article will be good to go!
