        Well. Robin Williams, a (hilarious) American comedian and actor, gained much of his early fame/notoriety on a TV show called Mork and Mindy circa 1978 in which Robin played an alien named Mork.

        The show was actually a spinoff of Happy Days, where the “Mork” character first appeared.

        “Bjork and Bindi” is clearly a play on words that leverages this.

          And unless I’m mistaken Bindi Irwin is Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin (RIP)'s daughter. And her name Bindi isn’t a cultural appropriation of the Indian forehead adornment, it’s a celebration of the Western Australian aboriginal culture (Noongar language) word for “Little Girl” which they appropriated.

    I wonder if they’ll include the dude that tried to kill/disfigure her with an acid mail bomb and his ensuing suicide.
