Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Fantastic work.

This thread is a great primer. How many times do you even notice the signs in the Simpson’s?

They did a Thanksgiving themed Treehouse of Horror episode; all three segments were bad to awful.

Wow, an unusually good Simpsons last night. Tod Flanders, with lingering grief over his mother, questioned his faith. The resolution was a little too tidy but it was still the strongest episode in a while (seasons?).

On this day:
1989 – The Simpsons, the longest-ever running American prime-time entertainment series, made its debut on the Fox television network with the episode "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire".

I remember watching the pilot too and how huge, and controversial, it was the first half season.

I remember that as well; for a time, the most controversial show on television

Making my way thru the series on Disney+. Just got to the episode that has the first appearance of Lionel Hutz. Goddammit, I miss Phil Hartman.

This is a fucking travesty. A show built around stereotypes is now forced to give up one its beloved characters. At this rate, who's next to go?

Dude. You do realize that in real life not all farm animals are addicted to tomacco, right?

[Simple Torture]

The Simpsons is built around stereotypes?

I suppose if you're from West Virginia you could be frequently triggered.
