My family, and I ,love the Simpsons. Now, their Christmas special,

tonight, seems in danger of being pre-empted by the human cartoon, gwb.

Arrgh!

The Simpsons have more topical, human and genuinely funny things to say within 20 seconds of their show than gwb could communicate in 20 years.

I just needed to vent about this small, but not insignificant, impact that gwb has in directly ruining our evening.

Thanks, all, for listening and understanding.

That is all..:grr:


MKJ :patriot:

x(

stream shows out there gets pre-empted for the drivel that passes for a speech from gwb.

Color me tinfoil hat. But, mainly,I'm just aggravated.

MKJ

:tinfoilhat:

republican supporters. In the opening credits, when Marge is at the Grocery store, the words "Long live the NRA" apear on the cash register display. It's on fox after all. I like the show, but just find this interesting.

Please, do tell and name names. I'd love to know.
:hi: MKJ

... but all of the stupid drunks in the bar scenes are actually Republicans!

I have my suspicions about Moe, too! MKJ

:rofl:

and if you slow down that seen, thats the message you will see.

Check him out on newsmeat.com or opensecrets.org.

Only Repub I know of, who's involved with the Simpsons is Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart).

That's cool to know since I love the "Simpsons." I also love "Family Guy" and "American Dad."

What's your deal? Don't spread false crap on DU, please.

one year on a special simpsons they stated that the words "long live the NRA" appears on the cash register. i dont think anything actually appears on the cash register except for that one show

the simpsons creators are actually democrats. in case you havent seen there have been things in the background like "fox news, the offical news home of bush/cheney 2004"

just because it is on fox does not make it a right wing show at all. in fact in general the right wing bias of their news division does not bleed into the entertainment one. the simpsons is always making fun of fox news and fox in general. on a show where crusty was running for office there was a fake fox news show on with headlines scrolling by "JFK posthumously declares he is a republican"

ease up on the seriousness about the simpsons. it is definately NOT a right wing show.

Maybe Homer for President in 2008?

DU'ers should be better than that, imho.

But they don't know for sure.

sometimes, so we should give you props for admitting it.

A belated "welcome to DU" from me. MKJ

:toast:

It's like with "Family Guy" and "American Dad" as well. On the first episode of this season of "Family Guy" on the back of their car had Kucinich 08. :D

Give me a link or ANYthing to support your assertion.

I think you are VERY mistaken.

Matt Groenig and James L. Brooks are Repub supporters?

if you actually watch the simpsons you will see how often they poke fun at republicans and fox news. remember last year "Fox news, the offical news home of Bush/Cheney 04" ?

Anyone who watches the Simpsons regularly and has half a brain knows that it's not a repuke show.

I do watch the "Simpsons" off and on and love the show but I never knew their politics or anything like that. I do love how they poke fun. :P

Homer (who was crusading for legalization of medical marijuana) says that he "could walk up to the President and blow smoke in his stupid monkey face, and he'd just have to sit there groovin' on it."

where they were indoctrinated into the "right" way to think.

They made an escape, ala the Von Trapps in the Sound of Music.

Funny as hell, and subversive in its none so subtle comparisons between Nazi Germany and our current state of affairs. MKj

They poke fun at Bush like the Commander Bunnypants deal. :shrug: I was surprised. Maybe they're old school republicans or whatever and don't like the neocons.

being republicans.

A quick check of who those guys donate money to would've prevented the SMEAR. It's public record.

They donate lots of money to the Dems.

Witness: the "Homer buys a gun" episode. They mock the living hell out of the NRA and gun nuts.

"Waiting period? But I'm mad now!"

"I promise, Marge. I thought you'd never find out."

some great lines in that one.

They are most definitely NOT repubs. The NRA thing, if it's true, is a joke. (I say "if" because, though Troy McClure mentioned that joke in the 100th episode special--at least, I think that's where it was--I tried to read it on the DVD once and certainly couldn't make out "NRA forever")

i read somewhere that it doesn't say anything since then i've tried to read it in the opening scene, but it goes by too fast.

keep in mind that homer actually fought Bush senior and turfed his lawn.

It wasn't on last week. Now this.

rather scoop shit than have it hurled at me.

the simpson are on!

nt

:cry: MKJ

I came in where Bart was the baby Jesus, and when Homer began to drink some wine, baby-Jesus-Bart, lying in a manger, folded one arm over the other and blinked (just like Jeannie, with the magic sound and all) and Homer's wine was turned into water. I laughed out loud, and the rest of the episode was great.

I think Lord/King/Emperor bunnypants is on at 9.

Does screw the other time zones out of a great Simpsons - ?

where Marge/Mary looks at bart and homer and says "I think this non-traditional family is going to make it" :rofl:

Overall, though, I thought last season's christmas special was better :)

I tried to build one when I was 15 but never had the handyman skills for it.

I still have all the parts for Tom and Crow, if you're looking to build another ;)

I wish I had one. I'm so impressed that you have tried to build your own.

I am surprised that no one associated with MST3K has made full sized Tom Servos or Crows available for sale to the general public. I would be willing to spend a lot to have one or both. MKJ

edited to add...by "a lot" I mean way more than I should and way more than the rest of my non MST3K family would understand.

MKJ

Simpsons.

I wish I had gotten to see it.

F***, f***, f***. MKJ
