Right, the names are changed. One of them happens to be an actual corporation acronym, but that was totally accidental. Sorry for all the extra copyediting work on this one, but I was actually getting work done at work for a change! I hope the rest of the jokes aren't too heavy-handed. --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 07:30, 7 Oct 2004 (EDT) | Right, the names are changed.

I may be the pot blackguarding the kettle here, but I think that the references to Karel Capek, Ford, and General Motors are just too in-your-face and should be replaced with something less explicit. Encyclopedants, what say you? --Jcowan 23:46, 6 Oct 2004 (EDT)
I agree. This is too close to "Earth parody" for me - see the discussion "Alternate Reality vs. Fictional World" on the Lexicon discussion. I admit, we're breaching into grey areas here: what with Sean's HANDBAG and the whole "Speedish Chef" / "BORK" thing, but blatant FORD/GM connotations, especially in regards to competing companies and mechanical automatims, are too much for me. Thoughts? --Morbus Iff 00:35, 7 Oct 2004 (EDT)
Aw, okay, I'll come up with new organizations. I'd like to leave the people, though, if that's not too over the top. --Doctor Phineas Crank 06:36, 7 Oct 2004 (EDT)
