Did anyone also notice that the mentally ill girl depicted drawing on the wall seems to be a Java programmer? She wrote things like "Math.pow(x, y)" and "function place row".

I was curious about that myself as well. It seems a rather odd choice if you're trying to imply lunacy.
Isn't it an inevitable consequence of being exposed to Java for too long?

Just like: InternalFrameInternalFrameTitlePaneInternalFrameTitlePaneMaximizeButtonWindowNotFocusedState

That's not part of a class API, it's a cry for help.

Too cheap?

Wow thanks, I had not seen that, but that's a real class name in com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.

"it's a cry for help"

I'll agree with this.

A real cry for help would have mentioned a couple of Factories at least.
Why?
