i mentioned this once before, but what the hell....
krusty's TV show & krustylu studios are in springfield. the itchy & scratchy studios are in springfield. anyone associated with either lives in springfield. yet, when the simpsons decide to go to itchy & scratchy land, they have to travel halfway across the country to get there. maybe not a gut-busting LOL moment, but i found it oddly amusing after the realization finally dawned on me.....
