1. Wonder if this episode will feature a subtle political message
about the current state of affairs. Wardrobe malfunction? How do the writers come up with this stuff? lol

3. Heh...lots of good stuff

Headbut with Nash Castor

If theres one way to get the truth out, it's on a cable news channel.

(Very loud talk show host):
what do you hate most about this country...the freedom?

Is America better than jebus?

Marge: well, America isn't perfect...

so America isn't perfect...is that why you and your son hate us?

If by us, you mean loudmouth talk show host, which everyone seems to be in this country, then yes I do hate Americans!

The sad part is, some Freepers will TOTALLY NOT GET THIS and think it is some kind of thumbs-up for all the RW wackiness in the USA these days.

"So come on jerks! Give us your oil!"

OMG a French ship picks them up "Hey we 'ate America toooo!"

24. I looked up Matt Groening's contributions on NewsMeat. From
what I could see he contributes exclusively to Democrats.
Interesting.

25. Thanks for the heads up. I saw the preview . . .
. . . where they were escaping from Alcatraz and Homer doesn't want to swim to San Francisco because it's too pricey so he yells "Swim to Oakland" and they switch direction. *lol*

29. A cartoon show reaffirms my faith
in my country. Not the President. Not the media. But "The Simpsons". Maybe we really are gradually taking our country back. The Bushies are losing control. Their facist control is slipping. Let the erosion continue. And, thank you very much, Matt Groening and Company.

44. Since the Simpsons pay the bills I'm sure Fox goes along with it
I have a feeling that if the Simpsons weren't still a cash cow for FOX that the powers that be would just pull the plug on the whole show vs. trying to censor one episode.

38. THE LIBRUL MEDIA~!!!!!!!1111!!
THIS is, of course, what the Right-wing masses mean when they cry out "Liberal media."

This is because we have different interpretations of "media." To the Right-wing, it's ENTERTAINMENT (Fiction), like Simpsons and 24. To us, it's the NEWS (Non-Fiction).

Example: When the Simpsons or 24 or something similar on TV shows don't praise America in all it's super-power glory, Right-wingers cry "Liberal media" with such vile hatred that they must literally violently masturbate themselves back to sanity.

Whereas WE watch the news and get indignant at seeing a press conference where the reporters and questions are vetted weeks in advance and even the little coughs are scripted and timed, or we see reporters engage in cowardice and self-censorship and acting as cheerleaders for the administration, and we then cry "what liberal media?" Then we blog. We blog to the EXTREME, baby.

Both sides are correct, we just have different interpretations of "media."

P.S. I'm Australian. I haven't seen the episode in question, nor will I be able to for maybe a year or two. Barring KaZaA. Which would be wrong.

39. Did anyone get the ending though?
the Simpsons said it would be easier to get into America if they didn't have Visa's - and it shows them on a ship coming to America in old fashioned clothes. I didn't get it - but the rest of the show was really knee-slapping funny.
