Only something on the line of cartoons, in this
case the simpsons, can the american dumbstream
relate to what the mainstream media wants them
to understand.

Not too surprising at all that simpson’s is a fux
network concoction. Surely an intentional
depiction of what fux and the whole msm and
government want the american people to be.
Can’t remember ever seeing more than just little
snipets which is more than I cared to see.

I thought I would see a clip from the show but got a stupid interview with Yeardly Smith.

The Simpsons are MADE by Fox. Their writers nibble on the hand that feeds them
all the time…it’s self-deprecating humor.

Having to explain this defeats the purpose of the joke.

The Simpsons is the best FOX has to offer.
