HEY, I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!
Homer Simpsons and the Bloggers

During last night’s episode of “The Simpsons,” the plot of which was thoroughly outlined by Robert Levine in Sunday’s New York Times (“The Season Finale That Isn’t a Season Finale”), you missed a great send-up on the issue of media consolidation.

By the end of the episode, everyone in Springfield is publishing his own newspaper, including Homer Simpson, who wisecracks: “Instead of one big-shot controlling all the media, now there’s a thousand freaks Xeroxing their worthless opinions.”

I’m trying not to take it personally.
