* EmpathicEnviroment: Parodied, near the end, as the cultured gay in the crowd make a speech about how even the very heavens themselves should scorn on the events, stormclouds gather and thunders are heard. Julio actually lampshades this and asks him how he does that (apparently, Classical education's the trick).
