Review: To most people, a lot were dreading this episode, especially since it involved Marge getting implants. However, this was the less of my worries when it came to new episodes (the big worry was Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade, which I felt sucked). Basically, tonight's episode was an average episode, with the "big boobs" jokes being a little funny, but not huge laughs. However, there were a few hilarious moments with Bart and Milhouse doing the merry-go-round stunt and Stampy eating Homer. Thumbs in the middle leaning upwards.

Radio Disney, as the name suggests, is a national radio station owned by the Walt Disney Company. The radio station usually plays music geared towards younger radio listeners (thus usually having bands that most adults can't stand). As for the "censoring" joke: sometimes, there may be some edits to songs that have content that may not be appropriate for some youngsters. Other times, a song may be redone for the radio station. One example of this is Lou Bega's Mambo No. 5, which, for the Disney Radio version, got rid of the alcohol refs and replaced all of the female names with the names of Disney characters.
The crossed out show names on the "Cancel Krusty" sign, Beavis and Butt-Head and Jackass, have both been infamous for accidents that were inspired by incidents that aired on the two MTV shows.
For Beavis and Butt-Head, back at the prime of the show (1993), one young Ohio viewer, after supposedly watching one of a few episodes where the two animated characters played with fire, played with fire himself and ended up burning his home down, killing his sister in the process. As a result of the incident, MTV cancelled the 7:00 PM time slot that the show aired on and took out all references to fire.
A few years later, Jackass got MTV in trouble again. This time, the trouble came with people either imitating the stunts that appeared on the show or doing their own Jackass stunts in hopes of airing on the series (even though the producers of Jackass won't accept video tapes of people doing their own stunts). One particular injury involved one boy attempting to do his own version of a Jackass stunt in which one Jackass member, while wearing a special suit, became a human barbeque.
