it's better than his own pet theory that the show was a metaphor for how the nations of the world needed to get along.

11. yes, I always thought that the effete Gilligan was supposed to be a knock
against liberalism, and that the Skipper was supposed to represent the correctness and moral resolve of Joseph McCarthy in rooting out those evil commies :crazy:

14. LOL-I always thought Ginger and Thurston Howell had something going

16. No. The true conspiracy is in it's cancellation.
After that one episode revealed that you can make a coconut-powered radio, the battery industry pressured CBS to pull the show from its lineup. It's the BATTERY INDUSTRY, people! :tinfoilhat:

17. Cheney is Skipper, * is Gilligan, Rove is the Professor
Condasleezy is Ginger, Rumsfeld is Thurston Howell and Wolfowitz is Lovey. It all makes sense now.
