I thought the horse thing might be the aftermath of that old joke that starts with a horse walking into a bar and ends with the punchline "So why the long face?" But it's usually the bartender that says that.
Not to mention "Genius of Parody". Although, to be fair, I'm not sure whether we're supposed to take those superlatives seriously, or if they're meant to be tongue in cheek.
Doesn't really matter though, because what I saw left me completely cold.
