History Recap / TheSimpsonsS1E10HomersNightOut

* DoubleStandard: In [[Recap/TheSimpsonss1E9LifeOnTheFastLine the previous episode]], Marge has several dates with a man who makes numerous explicit romantic overtures with her, and she only backs out from sleeping with him while she's driving to a rendezvous to do just that.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The FOX censors at the time didn't want Princess Kashmir to be a straight-up bachelor party stripper, as the show was courting controversy for being subversive (and, due to Bart being a protagonist, a lot of people thought ''TheSimpsons'' was a kids' show), so they made Princess Kashmir a professional belly dancer who performs at bachelor parties (though she does tell Bart that she works at strip clubs under the name "April Flowers.") This, unfortunately, results in the town's reaction to the picture appearing ludicrously overblown.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: If this episode was made nowadays, Bart would have posted the picture online rather than photocopy it and pass it around town.
