Last week I couldn't stop laughing while singing and humming the parodied Spiderman theme in 150 lab:
Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig. Does whatever a Spider-Pig does. Can he swing from a web? No he can't, cause he's a pig. Look out! He is the Spider-Pig!
Yesterday, I went out to watch The Simpsons movie on the big screen. It was a big relief when I entered the cinemahouse because there were huge crowds all over the mall you can barely walk and breathe. I literally had to squirm on my way to the ticket booth. It was the first day of the 3-day mega sale of SM. Our national mall, as I prefer to call it.
I always make it a point to display sarcasm in my face everytime I deal with pop culture. So when I took a seat and was presented with a couple of trailers, I began snorting and snickering, all the way until the movie started.
I laughed some during the course of the movie. But what I exactly enjoyed was the parodying theme of the film. For instance, the environmetal concern scenario, which is coincidentally what I can relate to because of my Ecology class. Remember Lisa discussing a graph regarding the situation of the river? It's actually a rip-off of Al Gore's An Incovenient Truth, a documentary about carbon dioxide accumulation in the atmosphere which is the main cause of global warming. Also, there's Greenday, a band which happens to be included in the Grist's Top 15 Green-Leaning Musicians and Bands which I had learned about through a forwarded email message from my lab teacher a couple of weeks ago. And yes, who could forget the President Schwarzenegger's infamous quote: I'm in this office to lead, not to read?
"He's not Spider-Pig anymore, he's Harry Plopper." ---Homer
Wouldn't it be cool if somebody puts up a shop that will compete with Big Dogs and sell parodied pig shirts, instead?
Just wondering.
