Sorry, Rocketpants, "But they won't find Duff beer, the brand chugged by Homer Simpson. The movie will be rated PG-13, and selling a Simpson-themed beer "didn't seem to fit," said Rita Bargerhuff, a 7-Eleven marketing executive. "That was a tough call, but we want to make sure it's considered good, responsible fun."

I would have paid good money for a six-pack of Duff.

Looks like someone already has plans to sell beer under that trademark.

I expect the two statements:

"That was a tough call, but we want to make sure it's considered good, responsible fun."

and

" I would have paid good money for a six-pack of Duff."

Will resolve themselves soon
