That's pretty inconsequential, though, especially when you realize how appealing this game is. This won't matter much to kids, although I suspect some of them will have a hard time with the "American Gothic" reference and will have to ask their parents for help (I was playing with my official 7-year-old playtester when he came to this point in the game, so it wound up not being an issue).
Later, there is a reference to a painting called "American Goatic" (it depicts a goat couple instead of a farmer and his wife), and the president who congratulates Spy Fox for a job well done at the end is a dead ringer for Bill Clinton. The bug is a real bug, and when he contacts Spy Fox he does so as if he's a reporter who sounds suspiciously like Walter Cronkite. For example, Spy Fox uses a tracking bug planted in Russian Blue's purse to trail her to her hideout, which will lead him in turn to William the Kid's headquarters.
Not only is it very well-suited for kids between the ages of 5 and 10 (although kids on the younger end of the scale might have a hard time with it), but the developers slipped a lot of sly stuff in there which adults will laugh at. Spy Fox in Dry Cereal is probably my favorite of the Humongous Entertainment games which I've played.
