*fvcking ball clap*

(And no, my balls do not have the clap.)

And I don't use Google. I use Startpage. You would figure by now that all you PC know it alls would already be using it. I used to have it listed in my sig for at least a year, but some dumb twit complained about my sig in a thread one day years ago, and a mod made me remove it.

You need to untwist your panties and calm down. You are going to burst a coronary.

I am still a Simpsons fan, but that was a seriously uninspiring season premiere. I couldn't make it all the way through the crossover - it really made me kind of angry seeing the Simpsons brought down to Family Guy's level of callous vulgarity.

They are finally alienating their last fan.

Didn't even watch it, because I take Cartman's position of Family Guy. Wasn't that long ago that the Simpsons creators were accusing Family Guy of ripping them off. Guess money talks. Especially when you're only pulling in 3 million viewers a week.

IGN rated the premiere "mediocre". Their review sums up my feelings.

Would have just been a forgettable, throwaway episode had they not hyped it so much. I still have hopes for the Futurama crossover.

Except they billed this as an "iconic" character being off'ed, and it was nothing of the sort.

Which is what made the stunt very, very lame.

Honestly I didn't even know about the stunt until Saturday, didn't know it was billed as an iconic character dying, I saw the list of 10 possible characters, and just said to myself, it has to be Krusty's father.

One of these things is not like the other ones, one of these things does not belong!
