Homer Simpson Tries To Vote For Obama, Gets Sucked Into Machine (And Killed)

For you students who have been fans of the Simpsons since way back in your Pogs days, you know it goes without saying that Homer Simpson screws up… a lot.

But for once, in this clip, Homer’s blunder is not his fault at all. He did the right thing, he voted for Obama! Alas, the machine wouldn’t let him… instead it changes his vote to McCain every time.

It’d be funny if it didn’t seem eerily plausible. (And just plain eerie, seriously, listen to the opening music.)

As Simpson says, “This doesn’t happen in America, maybe Ohio, but not in America!” Also, maybe Florida, but who's counting?

One can only imagine that this clip comes as a sneak preview to the annual Halloween special, because damn, it’s scary.

Headed for? It’s been going on at least since ‘68 - and the current situation, regardless of the CRISIS mongers, is nowhere near what was going on in ‘68. It’s all perception.

The joys of the Television Society. Anybody remember when we used to call it the “Boob Tube” - and for good reason?

I guess it became less “boobed” when the circus started being delivered in HD with THX Sound. NOT!

I don’t think having a Homer Simpson endorsement is a great thing.
