He was lying to the cops in a throwaway moment. And it was really funny, too. Not even close to the same thing.
Well I'm probably one of the most outspoken defenders of this episode, it's probably about my 6th favourite episode, and I basically agree with Elliot. I don't have a moral problem with lying anyway in certain situations. I mean, you played Survivor with me. I lied to basically everyone and I had fun doing it. I'm not sure what Asperger's syndrome has to do with it either. Something I've learned from my posting here is that people with Asperger's syndrome can be very different; for example, you've mentioned a few times that you are not good at math and you like acting. On the other hand, I'm great at math and I struggle with even controlling my tone of voice (there is no way in hell I could ever act, not to mention the fact that there is nothing artistic about me and I hate attention). However, I don't hold it against you that you hate this episode, because your opinion on some Simpsons episode doesn't affect me in the slightest and it would be a petty thing to concern myself with. Still have no idea how you got that "best taste" award though.You're not going to get through to me, okay guys? You can use all the logic you want, and I get your points, but my mind simply doesn't accept lying to ever be okay. I can't help it. There are a some other people here with Asperger's, and I'd like to know their opinion on the ending and if the lying bothers them as well.
How is Separate Vocations significantly different? If this were an after-school special, Lisa would face consequences for her actions, but she doesn't because what happens reflects what could happen in real life. It's exactly as subversive.I can understand why you might hate seperate vocations, Panther because that ending is rather uncomfortable from a moral standpoint (though I love that too)
