Cultural references
- The story's title is a pun on:
- The slang term "computer hacker".
- The expression "make hackles rise", meaning to annoy or shock someone (based on the kids' reactions when Martin reaches the Itchy & Scratchy Official Homepage).
- The image on Martin's computer screen when Bart first talks to him resembles Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). Kahlo was famous for her self-portraits, and one of her trademarks was depicting herself with a moustache.
Trivia
- Strictly speaking, Martin's actions in the story define him as a cracker, someone who gains access to desired material (in this case, a blocked webpage) by circumventing a computer's security system.
