In the Simpsons episode "Lisa Gets an A," Homer buys a small lobster named Pinchy, and brings him home to fatten him up, to eventually have a large lobster dinner.
Homer becomes attached to his red friend, and when it comes time to eat him, Homer cries as he remembers their friendship, and then says “Mmmm” after every bite, because the lobster is so delicious. “Aw-haww...Mmmm! Aw-hawww....Mmmm!”
It’s the experience I had watching Beijing’s opening ceremonies to the 2008 Olympics. Boy is that beautiful—my God, they’re so repressive. Gee, look at all the people who worked on that— How many of them at gunpoint?
Look at the beautiful children of China— whose parents needed a permit to have them in the first place! Such strong and limber gymnasts—what happened to the kids who didn’t make the cut? Are they in camps somewhere?

How lovely… there’s the symbol for peaceful unity… and there’s the symbol for Walmart!
