Why would a suicide booth need girders?

It doesn't make any sense. Bender bends girders for suicide booths, but the booths are too small to be made of a girders. I don't get it.

Maybe suicide booths of the future require girders? Who can predict what a booth will be like in a thousand years?

Symbolism? symbolic of what?

I think what you're looking for is irony.

It's not that serious. It's just a cartoon. You guys aren't suppposed to really think when you watch them. It takes all the fun away when you think about them too much. :o) Dr. Derek Robb, Kaiju no Hakase wrote in message news:7em6ur$p5q$[email]...

Now, if you _really_ want to nit-pick, why would Bender be upset about helping to build Suicide Booths when he dreams about killing all humans anyway? :)

Because "HE" dreams about killing humans. In this case, it would be like finding out that women would rather use a "Midnight Massager" than you. It's a personal insult. (Not that any of this really matters. I do like playing "devils's advocate" at times.)

Well... because the Suicide Booths were having all the human-killing fun?

Thank Bog, somebody finally said it!

Heh. Just watch some of these guys dissect every episode point by point until they almost have *you* convinced that the world portrayed in Futurama actually exists. Not that this sort of thing is unique to a.t.f.- check out the Blade Runner ng`s sometime.

Not to me, tho it does drive my wife crazy.

Blade Runner ngs? I didn't know that... what's the name? (No, it's not necessarily obvious. It might be, but not necessarily.)

After the knives, etc. were finished, the quick-and-painless disintegrator would turn on, instantly removing all remains.

We didn't see it do that after Fry and Bender left, but probably sensors noted there were no remains to remove.
