Is anyone else watching the Simpsons?
They're on point again, Burns has control of all media and is using it for self-promotion :)

1. How the hell did this get past the Faux censors?
That's what I want to know.
Damn, they've been political lately. Not a bad thing!

2. I loved the Itchy and Scratchy episode :)
With Scratchy warning as he dies . . . "remember if you don't want to end up like me, vote Republican!"

5. Sounds like my kind of OFF episode..
.. I hope it won't be too long before it's available as a Torrent (before you complaint - I'm in Denmark, where they just went from season 14 back to season 4, and I'm in dire need of some new Simpsons material!).

4. Because Faux is so clueless...
...that they are completely unaware that it could possibly be referring to them.

Remember, this is the network that disallowed Matt Groening permission to run a faux like ticker across the bottom of the simpsons because they were afraid their viewers would confuse the simpsons with faux news.

7. Didn't they try to sue him first?
I remember reading about it a long time ago, but in the end someone pointed out that sueing yourself is usually a bad idea.

9. Since "The Simpsons" helped MAKE the Fox network a successful
one in the first place, it wouldn't very well do to just try to censor or axe them and have them skip over to some other network now, would it? Just one of the ironies of history that a liberal free thinker like Groenig helped Fox get off the ground. Sigh...

11. I've given up on the new episodes
"The Simpsons" have really been on life support about 5 years and honestly, it's time to pull the plug. The show is simply not funny anymore.
