Well back in 1812 Italy as well!

 

Interestingly in the libretto of Rossini's early comic opera La Pietra del Paragone (The Touchstone) the librettist either by accident or design references the Mississippi River as the "Missipipì River" in the aria Ombretta sdegnosa del Missipipì (Disdainful shadow of the Missipipì), with its ridiculous repetitions of the last syllables. I say by design because the repeated "pipì" references have more than one meaning and no prize for figuring out what it is! Incidentally the piece is the character Pacuvio's parody of critics.

The a Tour at Universal Studios, Hollywood had something like this. The tour bus would pull up to a water crossing, and then there would be mechanical sounds. As I dis remember it, two walls came up to just under the water level,then the water would be drained between the walls, to allow the bus to cross. It was cool.

 

 

Maybe that joke was the inspiration of this architect...

WOW! I had no idea Rossini wrote an opera about water sports on the Missipipì River or, for that matter, about pipì's along the river's "[d]isdainful shadow" either! So from your post, are we to conclude this aria is a parody of critics who are real dicks?

Please explain. And if it's something weird about the picture, I can't see it well enough to determine if anything aside from a clown standing in a doorway with the words 'Free Hugs' is weird about it.

Well, apart from the creepy location (an underground bunker in the woods), clowns are just creepy in general. The John Wayne Gacy tie-in just sends the creep factor off the charts.

Exactly!
