"The Simpsons’ thick stew of historical references, literary allusion, pop culture trivia, neologism, and comedic invention has long invited viewers to break one of the golden rules of comedy: That there’s nothing to be gained from dissecting a joke. From early message boards to DVD commentaries to the personal Twitter feeds of its writers and producers, the more the show’s dead frogs get poked, the more fascinating layers they reveal."

Agreed, not much to be gained from dissecting the joke itself. Though reading through the tweets, the range of interpretations/misunderstandings is kinda amusing. Also people gettin' close to peeved that what they beleive is the catholic interpretation of the joke is not apparent to everyone else.
