*IgnoredAesop: When Gollum calls out the townspeople for trying to promote her as InspirationallyDisadvantaged when she just wanted to be treated like any other person, the response suggests that the message didn't quite sink in for everyone:
-->'''Principal Victoria:''' Oh my, what an ungrateful bitch!\\
'''Sheila:''' Yeah, the nerve of some people!
* InspirationallyDisadvantaged:Deconstructed. The attempts Parodied and deconstructed. Sheila's efforts at raising awareness of Gollum's condition culminate in an awards banquet featuring an "inspirational" movie about Nurse Gollum's life (mostly a series of photos clearly taken without her consent) and a parade for people with her condition (of which she is the only one in town) complete with dead fetus headbands for the audience. Throughout it all, Gollum is clearly irritated by people trying to put Nurse Gollum her on a pedestal for her "heroic" disfigurement backfire because when all she wanted was to be treated the same as any ordinary person.
