I wish the Simpsons would just go away. They haven't been funny in years IMHO. I watch it and I just say "Ok...."

the do stuff like this with apple all the time. though this was probably the longest riff on the subject.

still a loyal fan since i watched them on Tracey Ullman. Still funnier than most sitcoms on tv - though they did peak in season 8.

I think one of the Halloween specials where the iPods take over the Earth and make humans their slaves was pretty funny. Whipping them with the ear phones. >_<"

nope, not a halloween, it was the ice cream truck episode - marge's statue of homer is the last piece of art left, and outside the museum the ipods are whipping humans "we just love whipping!".

I think you may both be right. I am pretty sure I remember more than one episode where ipods take over the world.

I could be wrong though

As for this episode I didn't see the full episode, but I watched the clip that night and I thought it was hilarious. Simpsons is one of my favorite shows though so I may be a little biased

Thanks for the correction? I remember it now that you gave a synopsis of the episode, I also remember seeing it somewhere else too?

Kind of hard to believe that a huge wooden statue made from popsicles would be the last surviving piece of artwork.

The YouTube video has been removed by Fox. How nice of them. UK people are still not able to see it!
