Yeah. It's true. But the creator never intended it.

Post here now, I mean. I am sure I will be able to think of more later.

::A televison in the corner turns on of it’s own accord::
We see Stewie, of the show “Family Guy”, sitting in a director’s chair.

Hello, hello, is this thing on? Oh, I’m sorry, Is this better? Check, check, check… Jerry, pull the high end out, I’m still getting some hiss back here.

Ah, that’s better, you can retract the contract on the life of the guy who sold you this microphone, if you like.

Hello, Stuart Griffin here. I am here to tell you about a fact of my life that I thought you should know about. I am bi-sexual. In other words, I have romantic and/or
sexual relations with other people of more than one sex. Some people claim to be bisexual, during the period when they are finding out that they are not strictly straight, but that is not the case in all examples. Thought my long two years or so of life, I have realized an equal amount of attraction to both sexes, and hence, I am bisexual.

Now, I know that many people have an idea that you can only be attracted to one sex or another, and this has resulted in inconsistent writing of the part I have plaid, however, the truth of it is that when someone displays an attraction to both sexes, as I have ad-libed into many a boring scene, the only conclusion that one can draw is that that person is either faking the attraction or is bisexual, and I was certainly not faking my attraction to any of the girls, or guys I have loved before.

Now, if I see anyone discussing the idea, that I must be straight due to that insurable cookie grabbing harlot, I will add nuclear waste to the water supply of one of the many towns named, “Springfield” that dot the landscape like so many specks of bone left behind by the last door-to door salesman. That will be all. Oh, and coming up next is “BattleStar Gallatica Forum, with it’s new host, Wil Wheaton.

Nothing, that was just an example. I am looking for things like how almost al televison show in the recent past, are actually the dreams of a helpless little autistic kid somewhere. A longer article explaining the issue can be found here . I am sure peole have noticed other examples of simular things.

P.s. here is a great quotes from the end of the above article.

“So what does this prove, other than the fact that I’ve got too much free time? Well, my point and I do have one (I can steal this catch phrase because, as I’ve already proven, Ellen never existed), is that while guest-shots and crossovers can be fun, obsessive, cross-series continuity is silly.”

It’s silly in comics too. Relax and enjoy the show.

The Grand Unification Theory of Crossovers suffers the fallacy of assuming that every crossover solidly puts every character in it into the same reality. This simply is unsupported. For example, the Carla Tortelli & Norm Peterson in a notorious St. Elsewhere ep are arguably simulacra of a Carla & Norm seen on TV by the autistic child. Etc.

I meant to say:
The Grand Unification Theory of Crossovers suffers the fallacy of assuming that every crossover solidly puts every appearance of every character in it into the same reality. This simply is unsupported. …

I want to mention how Mike W. Barr repeatedly used Ronald Reagan & Mikhail Gorbachev as characters in DC Comics’ The Outsiders. Does that mean that any fictional appearance of Reagan or Gorbachev is set in continuity with that series? Of course not! They’re real people, in the public domain. Their existence in The Outsiders reflects the high degree of correlation between the reality of the comic & our reality.

Similarly, a TV character appearing out of context on another TV show only shows a partial correlation between TV continuities. If someone who appears to be Det. John Munch appears on The X-Files or Lois & Clark, that doesn’t mean that alien conspiracies or Superman exist in the world of Homicide: LotS or Law & Order: SVU. It’s a case of a character who happens to have apparently similar versions of himself in alternate realities, which is only visible to the viewers in our observer reality. It’s shown as a joke.

Well, since the topic’s back up, and it was resurrected… on Good Friday… I’ll chime in:

Yes, they are human. They’re not from Earth, they’re not terrestrial, but they’re human. Hey, there could be humans in other planets, just like us, but we can’t see them. No, wait, yes we can. And they use the force.

@betenoir

I realize some other possibilities have beeen introduced…including the very sensible “It’s fiction, get over it”. But if we’re going to take it seriously, well…I have to ask, why are you assuming it could only be that humans colonies other planets. And not the other way round? Perhapes Luke’s great-great-great-great ( and so on) grandson Space Commander Adam and Leia’s great-great-great (well you get the idea) grandaughter Communications Officer Eve were some how stranded on a indifferent sort of planet on the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy, couldn’t they have been, in fact been the introduction of human life on Earth?

(Hmmm…I think I just referenced Star Trek, Star War, the Bible, and Douglas Adams all in one post. I think I should win some sort of SDMB award.)

No points for you, you missed the obvious tie-in to Galactica.

@smiling bandit

As it happens, it’s a traditional swords n’ sorcery tale, a retelling of Kurosawa’s Hidden Fortress, and a martial arts movie, all rolled up into one. So playing gotcha and sayin they’re nearly identical aliens is sort of pointless.

Well, there’s at least one WW2 movie thrown in there as well.

@Mississippienne

So we decided there should be an issue where Mr. Sinister becomes fed up with this nonsense, and hands the X-Men a computer printout revealing the identities of everyone’s biological parents.

This will, of course, cause a crisis in the X-Ranks when it is revealed that Mystique is everyone’s mother and Magneto and Wolverine are everyone’s fathers.

Obviously you missed the fan speculation that Mystique is a 46,XY intersex (or whatever the equivalent is in Marvel fantasy biology) with fully female appearance, who had to morph into male form to father Kurt Wagner.

I bet several people are sorry they read this post now…
