Fine of the spoilers

Comment

The situation of the lice of Clyde is comparable with global warming and more specifically of a climatic refugee.

Quelqu'un discovers the threat

the threat is not taken with serious by the authorities

a disaster arrives

The episode is the second to parody " The day according to ". More and more of episodes (at least one per season) have an environmental vocation.

The use of a childish problem is clear: it is a question of putting in parallel the insignificance of a world of insects with the world. The chronic indifference of Clyde (its trademark since 11 seasons of presence) serves the message of the authors.

A second point of the episode would require clarification: why the louse find does refuge in the pubis of Angelina Jolie?

It is probably about one reference to the assistance which it brings to the refugees of the Third world and to his charitable action. It is perhaps also about a satire in connection with the multiple adoptions of the actress. Moreover at the time when the episode was diffused, it adopted its 3rd child increasing their number with four with Pax Thien Jolie.

The caricature is very malicious, but it points out not without cynicism which one can without problem put our world without top-below, Angelina Jolie will be always there to collect us. What is of course false, but is as to show as people make use too much of the stars to give clear conscience.
