Funny, I was just watching the Futurama episode where they meet the 80's business conman with boneitis. That episode used the same metaphors, i.e. Momcorp being like Germany and Planet Express being like Switzerland. "Everyone wants to be like Germany."

(Very off-topic, I know. I'll be quiet now.)

"Man, remember the Safety Dance?"
"Yeah, although to tell the truth, that dance really wasn't all that safe."
