Talk:Eddy's Brother/@comment-74.78.209.8-20130404011238

There seems to be a majority opinion against this, and I've never understood why, because it seems to fit the facts very well: wouldn't Eddy's brother's "sent away" be best explained by he went to prison? How else do you explain such a horrible and fearsome reputation, his parent's shame, the obvious allure he has, if exacerbated by tall stories told by eddy, even though its debatable if he even knew. The only thing against the idea is that, considering its a kids show, they wouldn't want to have something that dark as a plot device as some may find it disturbing.

Its heavily implied he was forced, and his parents didn't even want to acknowledge him, what else could have happened? He became a bum and was simply kicked out? How did he become a carnival worker? Some of the facts of the show can't be evaluated without considering the cultural context of the real world, both from the 70s pop culture, which I see a lot of in this show, despite the 2000s time frame, and modern times.
