Gay marriage on the Simpsons

Coming out in Springfield Which of 'The Simpsons' regulars is gay -- and will get married when their town legalizes same-sex weddings? By Stephen Kiehl Sun Staff James Dobson has his work cut out for him. Last week, the conservative flame-thrower denounced SpongeBob SquarePants - the harmless cartoon sponge who holds hands with his friends and lives in an underwater pineapple - for appearing in a "pro-homosexual video." Next month, a regular character on The Simpsons will come out and be married in a same-sex wedding. Simpsons producers haven't revealed which character turns out to be gay, but that hasn't stopped fans from speculating or placing bets on who it might be. Patty Bouvier, the chain-smoking, raspy-voiced sister of Marge who has rarely dated men, seems to be the leading contender - one Web betting site, PaddyPower.com, stopped taking wagers because so much money was being placed on her.

I would say Marge's sisters, but they like McGuiver.

And they are sisters, not that that matters with a gay marriage --- two consenting adults and no liklihood of children.

Gee. It couldn't be....Smithers, could it? (Didn't they pretty much do that years ago, anyway?)

Finally, Simpsons looks like it might be dying. They stink on ice when they get on a soapbox.

Marge once said Patty chose a life of celibacy, Selma simply had it thrust upon her.

The safe money is on one of Marge's sisters.

Longshot: Ned Flanders.

Could the Simpsons be jumping the shark?

Note: Jumping the Shark refers to the "Happy Days" episode where blah blah blah blah blah.

No, it'd have to be the kid's TV character. The clown.

Well the show has been declining in quality for the past 5 years, but that's another issue

That's my bet, Lenny & Carl. And I believe this will be the Simpson's "Jump the Shark" episode.
