Mel who?[]

Is Mel Ibson supposed to be a parody Muppet of Mel Gibson? I'm confused why Mel Ibson links to Mel Gibson, but then his page doesn't mention the parody character's name, like Placido Domingo/Flamingo does. -- Ken (talk) 04:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

You're right; I'll go put it on Gibson's page. It's a weird reference, because it's really just the name -- the character in the book sings, and looks more like Elvis Presley. I suspect actually that it was originally written as an Elvis reference, but they decided that kids in 1996 would be more familiar with Mel Gibson as a superstar, so they changed the name. -- Danny (talk) 16:18, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
