Smithers is now officially considered a homosexual (though in the closet)? one of Marge's sisters is an "in the closet" lesbian? Dana Gould appears in the "also starring" credits?

Created by Jack Kevorkian, the Suicide Machine is a controversial item that he uses on his patients. A patient who simply to die rather than suffer the pain of his/her illness would strap her self in the machine and have a needle put inside of him/her. Then, with the press of a button, lethal materials would then be injected into him/her, thus leading to death.
Jackass is TV show that airs/ed on MTV. The premise of the show featured a crew of guys pulling off some ridicuous and mostly dangerous stunts (i.e. a human barbecue, rigging a car to make it seem that a kidnapped guy is tied up in the trunk). Obviously, some kids, despite the warnings that the show gives, attempt these stunts or variations of the stunts, and of course this leads to injury.
