Did anyone catch the Simpsons episode where they made their own Fox News look like Republican shills? I thought it was hillarious myself and was cracking up at how they put devil ears on the democrat

comments?

I love the Simpsons but I fear they have just about run out of gas.

[Mr. K]

I disagree- it was hilarious

And my take on it was that it was a more of 'poking fun at ourselves' type of jokes. Or, in other words, making fun of the things the democraps say about us.

I admit I did not devote my full attention to tonight's show.

Multi-tasking you know.

Krusty was great. The show is great. It's just getting harder on Homer these days.

I wish the show long life!

I thought Walter Mondale as the janitor was an interesting touch.

If nothing else, Krusty was willing to let the Constitution stop him from infringing on RKBA.

The Simpsons- too cool..

[Flashlight]

It was very funny. At the very end during the credits, they did it again.

My favorite was "stay tuned for Hannity and Idiot."

[SteveH]

I caught a bit and did a double take on it.

I do not think the liberals have enough clearance to afford to be able to laugh at themselves, not to mention do it in such a flagrant way. In my opinion this settles once and for all whether the scriptwriters are liberal or "other".

I liked the show also, I thought the FOX bit was done in good taste, "poking fun at ourselves" sort of thing. Krusty was good also, funny show, I hope they continue for some time.

[Portnoy]

I missed that part. I thought it was one of the better episodes this year. The ticker at the bottom of the Fox News channel was clever...

Well there are still some conservatives who get offended by stuff like that but I thought it was hilarious.

[CougarGA7]

"Mmmmm, promo."

"Ptu! Yuck, FOX"

I loved that. I also liked when Lisa Simpson said, "I normally don't give advise to Republicans, but for once I want to be in the winning side."

[CounterCounterCulture]

Krusty's got my vote. "Listen to the tomato with the melons." (It's a joooooke)

FOX Crawlscreen:
POINTLESS NEWS CRAWLS UP 37 PERCENT... DO DEMOCRATS CAUSE CANCER? FIND OUT A FOXNEWS.COM... RUPERT MURDOCH: TERRIFIC DANCER... DOW DOWN 5000 POINTS... STUDY: 92 PERCENT OF DEMOCRATS ARE GAY... JFK POSTHUMOUSLY JOINS REPUBLICAN PARTY... OIL SLICKS FOUND TO KEEP SEALS YOUNG, SUPPLE... DAN QUAYLE: AWESOME

FOX Crawlscreen during final credits:
ASHCORFT DECLARES BREASTS OF CHICKEN SANDWICH "OBSCENE"... HILLARY CLINTON EMBARRASSES SELF, NATION... BIBLE SAYS JESUS FAVORED CAPITAL-GAINS CUT... STAY TUNED FOR HANNITY AND IDIOT... ONLY DORKS WATCH CNN... JIMMY CARTER: OLD, WRINKLY, USELESS... BRAD PITT + ALBERT EINSTEIN = DICK CHENEY... RIGHT WING OF CHICKEN [End credits]

Anyone notice Homer's line ("There is no North Dakota! They won't admit it!") from the commercial for this episode didn't appear in this episode?

Yea, what was up with that? Wonder if it was way slanderous

[Revenge Of Daffy-Duck]

Obviously, the powers-that-be are covering up the truth!

[longtermmemmory]

I seriously doubt an equally funny CNN butt kissing satire will be in the works. If you just eliminated FOX and substituted CNN, the leftists would be howling like piglets.

Of course. Because the left only finds satire funny when it is directed towards the right. Anything else is not funny or worse a betrayal. Look at the venom Dennis Miller puts up with in lefty sites. He is a traitor to them. Look at how they reacted when SNL made fun of the "multilateral" protests or Gore for that matter. They were furious with SNL.

Now some here get upset when satire is poked in the "right" direction. However, the fox bit along with the running RNC gag are damn funny satire. For instance Jon Stewart is pretty vicious but when he gets off a one-liner that's funny I will laugh. Political satire is a grand tradition in this country and not all of it is venomously partisan. Then again I am such a Simpsons nut I would probably defend them to the death. ;-) Some satire is obviously partisan and vicious. Its humor is found only by the target audience of die hards. But I don;t think the Simpsons fall into that category.

But as you can tell more often than not I am "amused".
