“You got Poison to play at our wedding?” – Becky “We’re Cyanide, a loving tribute to Poison.” – Cyanide Singer “We need a ride home!” – Cyanide Drummer This week we might have a link of the month instead of a link of the week. From Australia comes a list of bands with names from the show from all over the globe. I’ve linked maybe three or four of them on here, and I had no idea just how many there really were. It needs to be seen to be believed, and it’s hard to conceive of another show offering…

Some Examples of Jerkass Homer From More Recent Seasons
“Hey, kids? Always recycle . . . to the extreme!” – Poochie Johnny Sugar, who once wrote a guest post for us titled “Where Al Jean Went Wrong”, has made it to what passes for the big time if you’re a blogger, Uproxx. There, he’s been the driving force behind their expanded number of Simpsons posts (you know, the ones that keep showing up in Reading Digest). On Sunday, he put up another one: Homer Simpson’s Changing Ways On ‘The Simpsons’ It’s a rundown of things which will be sadly familiar. In order, they are: He’s More Of A Jerk…

Reading Digest: Fan Made Crossovers Are Better Edition
“But first, move over Baltimore! Springfield has stolen your idea!” – Kent Brockman Some internet genius put together a version of the opening credits of the third season of The Wire, including the song, but with clips from only Season 3 of the show, and it works. Meanwhile, out in Los Angeles, someone’s putting together an art show that’s just about Bart and the various bootleg incarnations he spawned in the early 90s, all of which are more creative than, say, cramming the Simpsons into a Family Guy or Futurama episode. In addition to that, we’ve got lots of .gifs, Azaria talkin’ softball, Bart…

Simpsons Survey
“I hope all you kids come out this weekend and really pack this place, just to show ’em how grateful I am. I told them you would! Don’t make me a liar.” – Krusty the Klown Our old friend Philip J. Reed is conducting a survey about the show: I’ve prepared a very quick 10-question survey that I’d like you to answer if you’ve ever seen The Simpsons. Seriously; it should be damned quick. If it’s going slowly, it’s because you’re driving yourself insane trying to be comprehensive…so don’t do that. Say what comes to mind, give it a little…

But how?” – Roger Meyers Jr. “Drop and anvil on her?” – Cartoon Writer #1 “Hit her on the hear with a piano?” – Cartoon Exec #1 “Stuff her full of TNT then throw a match down her throat and run?” – Cartoon Exec #2 “All your fancy degrees and that’s the best you can do? You make me sick!” – Roger Meyers Jr. Alex Rocco, the voice of Roger Meyers Jr. and the iconic “bullet through the eyeglasses guy” in The Godfather, died yesterday.

Reading Digest: Contradictory Beer Edition
“Here you go, Red Tick Beer.” – Moe “Hmm, bold, refreshing, and something I can’t quite put my finger on.” – Homer Simpson “Needs more dog.” – Red Tick Brewmaster This week FOX announced that Chile would be getting a real life Duff variant, apparently prompted by unlicensed (and, one assumes highly popular) versions that were already on sale. This is amusing in a “merchandising rules everything around me, get the money, dolla dolla bill ya’ll” kind of way, but it seems awfully contradictory. Duff is supposed to be crappy beer that only a swine would drink, but presumably if…
