Solid episode but I Probably over rated this one a little ... The ET/lifetime story arc is ehhh . The Mr. Pibb story is really funny though. One of the best lines in this ep is the one of the "Pibb" executives thinking to himself after Stan & Francine steal the Pibb mobile thinking to himself "what would mello yellow do" still not sure how I feel about Pibb extra.

Newspaper Headline: "Homemade valentine proves thought doesn't count". I love this episode. One of my all time favorite ones. In this episode, Steve begins ignoring Roger, in favor of his dorky friends, Toshi, Snot and Barry. Since Roger is so upset, he befriends a little boy, who turns out to be abusive to Roger, and Roger shows serious signs of denial. It's so sad. Roger just wanted a friend, he didn't need to get a bully instead. Meanwhile, Stan and Francine learn that their favorite soft drink, Mr PiBB, is going to be discontinued. They decide to try to and save it. All is fine, until they discover that the PiBB-Mobile has been stolen. It was Haley and Steve that had made a scheme to disguise it as a spaceship, coming to take Roger back to his home world. Roger convinces his abuser that the ship is real. The boy finds out it's fake and tries to apologize for hitting Roger. Steve then convinced Roger to come back home, and to once again, be his best friend. He kicks Henry, the little boy, in the groin and then they all walk away happy. Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10.

PREFACE: The warning on spoilers freaked me out so I'll just always click it to be sure.

REVIEW: There was one part in this episode where the tour-guide from the Mr. Pibb factory announces that he will be having a sex-change operation the next day. Then, in the next scene, he's eyeballing a box of tampons and says "oh soon my sweets" in a creepy fashion and petting the box. Okay yeah he's being creepy, but a transgender woman wouldn't have a period, ever, (no eggs) so I have to wonder what he is planning on using them for? That's disturbing.

DISCLAIMER: In case anybody read that as anti-trans, reread it and know that I have exactly zero issue with trans-people, the issue I have is wtf is planning on doing with those tampons??
