Deleted, Kid Rock was very huge on the charts at the time the episode aired


** The episode also features the party-hard youth culture of the 90s and 2000s at its peak, with Music/KidRock appearing at an MTV show broadcast from the beach (featuring a joke about the age of the channel's presenters), with Rock's particular brand of RapRock being passe by the time the episode aired. Kid Rock's hype man Joe C. also appears alongside him in this episode, seven months before he died from complications related to dwarfism.

** Homer's reason for his reluctance to travel to Florida is because he sees it as "America's wang". Does he think the state looks phallic, or is it a reference to [[OnlyInFlorida how a lot of bizarre news comes from Florida]]?

Harsher In Hindsight only applies to the preceding work, rather than the latter (in this case, the episode Who Shot Mr Burns).


* HarsherInHindsight:
** Florida is willing to convict a baby for a crime that [[SinsOfOurFathers was actually committed by her father]], defying Wiggum's comment on how no court (besides Texas, maybe) will sentence an infant to prison for heinous crimes in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsWhoShotMrBurns Who Shot Mr. Burns]]".
** When Homer is questioning Lenny and Carl over who their favorite [[Music/BackstreetBoys Backstreet Boy]] is, the latter mentions Nick citing how good he is to his mother. Years later, Nick and his mother Jane are very much estranged due to her controlling StageMom tendencies.
