Comments

The Toys 'L' Us is a reference to Japanese language. While Americans have different sounds for R and L, there is no distinction between the sounds of R and L in the Japanese languahe. Thus, it is sometimes common that some Japanese names can be spelled either with an R or an L.

Wouldn't it be Chinese, since they were in Chinatown? Also, how many people noticed the similarities between the beginning of this episode and the one that began in "ethnictown" a few ep's back? (probably a few, I haven't been able to make it through all the submissions yet, damn West Coast makes me 3 hours late for everything).

The L and R similarities are present in Asian languages like Chinese, Korean or Japanese
