Actually, not sure if I already mentioned this, but whenever I see references to Venus de Milo in the 2K12 series, I mainly see it as a camp reference. I mean, lots of viewers loathed Venus, and there's just something farcical enough about her character that gives her appearance camp value long after the fact. Even the way Raph painted it on the Party Wagon was evocative of cheesy paintings of skimpy women on the sides of World War II-era airplanes. It would have fit well with the sense of humor he flaunted in season 1. If only he had remotely the same sense of humor in season 3. :(
