Here's an example (remember this one?) in which the creator (IMO) found a far
more effective way to express his feelings about Jar Jar. I thought this was
hilarious and the best use for Jar Jar heads I've ever seen.

It's in the third frame. To view the whole story just change the Hw2.htm to
Hw1.htm when you get there. As for the treatment of Timmy, that was another
whole debate, so I won't go into that. But note how Brian has a warning before
you get to the page where heinous acts occur....
