Reading Digest: Excited Edition
“This is so exciting. Last time I got to go backstage was when Bart ripped his pants at the Christmas play.” – Marge Simpson “Mom!” – Bart Simpson “Ha ha.” – Eric “Bobo” Correa The torrent of new Simpsons merchandise continues this week, and what I’ve noticed isn’t so much the amazing breadth of the products (clothing, ice cube trays, figurines) as the way that every single company describes themselves as “excited” to be selling crappy Simpsons stuff. They all do it, and the consistency is terrifying. On the subject of merchandise, they announced the date of the long ago…

Reading Digest: Tapped Out Is a Bottomless Money Pit Edition
“And to think, Smithers, you laughed when I bought Ticketmaster, ‘Nobody’s going to pay a hundred percent service charge’.” – C.M. Burns “Well, it’s a policy that ensures a healthy mix of the rich and the ignorant, sir.” – Mr. Smithers The Tapped Out game continues to be a runaway hit for FOX and EA. Freemium games that dribble out content in exchange for cash have proven to be goldmines, and the Simpsons one is at the head of the pack, which means that there’s quite a bit of internet discussion about it.

Season 7 Marathon: 25 Episodes, 25 beers, 9h:32m:18s
“Anyway, get ready beer belly, we’re gonna show Springfield what we’re made of!” – Homer Simpson Good morning and welcome to the seventh and final Simpsons-Beer Marathon. Today I get to spend my whole Saturday watching Season 7, and it is going to be awesome. As with previous marathons, I will be using the pause and reverse buttons to get a quote down or take a screen grab, but the fast-forward button is strictly verboten. Since I was way too drunk by the end of the Season 6 marathon (I blame Dave) to comment intelligently on “Who Shot Mr. Burns?”,…

It’s a scientific fact.” – Homer Simpson Back at the end of December, reader Brian sent in a link to a video at The Escapist modestly titled “The Simpsons Is Still Funny – Pt. 1”. It’s about five minutes long, and you can view it at the link. The second part, “The Simpsons Is Still Funny, Part 2”, came out a week later. These are the kind of internet videos where there’s a fast talking voiceover accompanied by a series of pictures, memes and other low cost…
