Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'em

I missed the first three minutes or so, but from what I could tell, there was some good satire about how malls can go past their prime. Just last week, in my quest to find Keith Olbermann's new book, I happened upon Biggs Park Mall in Lumberton. Belk, JC Penney, and a few small stores in between. No Barnes & Noble, only a Waldenbooks. Back to the episode: Just last year was a gender-related story. Who would have thought so many people could be so sexist? Not just Chalmers, Krusty, and Brockman, but Helen Lovejoy and Lindsay Naegle too. Hey, what were they doing at the Builder's Barn? The part about allergies was interesting at first, but there was a big continuity error: Bart is allergic to butterscotch, as revealed over 15 years ago in 7F22. Wouldn't Skinner exploit that? Also, Bart was at a seafood restaurant in 7G10, but ordered squid instead. Well, don't I sound like those college guys from 1F02? The ending was a bit weak. At least Homer learned yet another painful lesson. In conclusion, this episode had some excellent laughs, but they were concentrated in the first and second acts.
