Just a quick Simpsons question…
A few years back, the show had a clip of a “McBain” movie where the hero was being attacked by jet fighters flown by the dreaded “Commie-Nazis.” We got to see the side of one of these guys’ jets, showing a flag that integrated (as I remember) a hammer & sickle and a swastika.
I was just wondering if anyone could refresh my memory about what that flag looked like.
Well, thanks for your time,

Hey it may have been a joke for the Simpsons, but “commie Nazis” actually exist - the National Bolsheviks, started by the former emigre writer Eduard Limonov, who’s actually a pretty good writer when not running schizophrenic Nazi-punk parties.
here’s their flag, a much cleaner design than MacBain’s people came up with.
Wikipedia article.
Excellent—er, not excellent that commie-nazis exist, but that’s greatly helpful information on both fronts.
Much obliged, and thanks for your help!
OK, so who is Mendoza?
I recall seeing a similar flag on some other cartoon…I want to say Family Guy but it’s probably wrong. It was funnier than these examples, though, since it had the sickle and hammer outrageously twisted to form the swastika.
Mendoza was an old pal of McBain’s who was brutally murdered in a restaurant right in front of McBain the day before Mendoza was to retire from the force. He had planned to spend his retirement sailing the world on his boat, ironically named the Live-4-Ever.
McBain fought the Commie-Nazis while attempting to deliver penny donations to UNICEF. As far as I know, the two adventures are unrelated. I’m not really a big McBain fan. I’ll have to check it out the next time I’m in Springfield.
From the article:
Cool! Can we be Oceania? 
Only if you’ve always been at war with Eastasia.
Mendoza is the villain who ordered the hit on McBain, not his partner who is on the recieving end of it. McBain’s buddy is named Skoey, who is also his music guy on his talk show. (at least I think the guy who got shot was named Skoey, I know that’s who the music guy is)
You know who Skoey is? You must be some sort of homozexual!
The FOX Network has sunk to a new low.
