I recall a cartoon Genie torturing, force-feeding, and eating a "middle eastern" bad guy...Then the Genie crapped the guy out, and called him "fertilizer."
When it really lost me, was the Genie pounding a cow until fecal matter burst out.
I was hoping someone else could give us an interpretation.
(How did that piece pass the muster of network suits around a table??!!) |

While I believe the point was made early....at the point of eating the guy it was already overboard...it seemed to have been making fun of an old cartoon from back in the 70s. I can't remember the name of it, but SNL's name was kind of close. It was pretty violent but in that cartoony way, in that the "bad guy" springs back with a 'duhhh' look on his face after being twisted, slamed and poked. 70s cartoons were violent.
