It was a repeat...it was on once when it was new, then once on sunday night a few months ago, and now again. 3rd time...and still funny. :)

I'm not sure if this is the same episode, but the Simpsons have had a computer before. Homer starts a website and calls himself "Mr. X" and writes gossip and make believe exposes. Then people from a mysterious island come and kidnap Homer and leave a fake Homer in his place. Apparently one of his make believe exposes actually uncovered a secret plan to make people buy more during the holiday season.

Homer: "All I want to do is email"

Sales guy: "You'll need a top of the line system for that"

Homer: "How about that one?"

Sales guy: "That technology is six months old. Only a sucker would buy that, you're not a sucker are you?

Homer: <<insert Homer whining here>>

Awesome episode. :D

Wasn't this episode spoofing some movie? Does anyone know what movie (or maybe a book) this was spoofing?

I loved 'the Prisoner' riff in that episode - plus the fact that they got old Paddy McGoohan to add his voice was the icing on the cake...:)
