Banksy's Simpsons Couch Gag

The Simpsons' couch gag last night was directed by Banksy.  It's dark, disturbing and very good. While we're discussing the Sunday night cartoon block on Fox, The Cleveland Show had a "Down goes Brown" reference.  Coincidence?  I have a forensic analyst on the case and will report back my findings

Stark Raving Dad

Did you hear Michael Jackson passed away?  CNN is still calling it "breaking news" in their 24/7 coverage of Jackson's death.  Coverage that contains almost nothing in terms of new developments, by the way, but I digress. Jacko's death will reward those of us who still pray at the

Homer Does Kurt

As I referenced earlier in the day, Homer Simpson assumed the persona of Kurt Cobain during last night's episode of "The Simpsons".  He led a band called Sadgasm. Politically IncorrectThis was the first song we heard from Sadgasm.  It's a lot like Nirvana's "Rape Me". Politically Incorrect Redux?I can't
