Homer should do Playgirl. And not campy, but seriously, as seductive as they can possibly make him.
Wasn't there an episode where he did something like that?
I haven't seen this episode but it seems like they showed that Marge was being exploited. The characters aren't perfect people, and situations aren't always fully resolved. It's part of why the show is great.
But Lisa should have been given a long monologue somewhere in there. She would have had a LOT to say about this. #margesimpsoncalendar
I'm kind of creeped out that even nipples were in the playboy spread. BTW I don't recommend trying to google for those images, even if you are curious to know how far they went. #margesimpsoncalendar
Number 6 is the most adorable thing ever. I can even tell what sound Homer is making by looking at his shadow. The nipples bother me though. #margesimpsoncalendar
@phantom lady: Considering that he named the characters after his family members (Matt being Bart), I don't think that would cross his mind. #margesimpsoncalendar
@Stagtasticfantastic: I read this great profile of Groening about fifteen years ago. The reporter was going on about the Simpsons' character names, saying something like, "Marge is the quintessential fifties housewife moniker, and Homer is, of course, an homage to the epic poet who fathered symbolic storytelling with archetypal characters."
Groening very pleasantly responded, "Actually, my parents' names are Marge and Homer." Oh, that poor journalist. Probably lost their job even before the profession evaporated. #margesimpsoncalendar
Yes, Hussein Hajj Hassan, because suffering is clearly a contest and someone has to be the best at it. Because acknowledgment of someone's suffering means that you're disregarding everyone elses.
'Female cancer or multiple sclerosis patients are six times more likely than male patients to be separated or divorced soon after their diagnosis. Researchers said men may leave a sick spouse because they're more hesitant than women to commit to being a caretaker'
It's sort of hidden away in the middle there, but by golly this is depressing. #abortions
@Pizza!Pizza!Pizza!: That reminds me of something my mom, a Hospice nurse, told me: when a female patient died, the widower almost always went out and got remarried within the year. When a male patient died, the widow almost never remarried. #abortions
@Penny: My boss told me about it today, except he said, "This girl was SMASHED on the Boston subway" and I assumed he meant she was smashed to bits, not drunk. I was very confused. #abortions
@FrabjousDay: true story: about a year ago I was on the red or green line coming home on a friday night around 10. I hopped on the train and noticed a free seat, not believing my good luck I of course took it and put on my ipod. I noticed a faint smell of vomit but you know its the T, par for the course. Over the course of the ride I notice the smell getting stronger and more and more people backing away from my end of the train. I turn around and the girl behind me is DRUNK OFF HER ASS and has been puking repeatedly into her lap for at least 3 stops. #abortions
@Alohamaid: AHHH! You just brought back a repressed memory of the time a wasted dude puked all over his buddy while we were on the bus. I got off on the next stop and waited for another bus...they were like 1 foot from me. I almost joined the pukefest, it was AWFUL. #abortions
@GirlFailer: YES! I got off on the next stop and spent the next hour running my hands over the back of my hair parnoid there had been some splash #abortions
First: Where was that chart during the many long years of my involuntary chastity? I though I was being tricky when I switched hands.
Second: Tolerance in the mountain states? I hope you're not including Utah, Idaho and Montana because I haven't found a lot of tolerance in those states. #abortions
@token_illiterate_commenter: Yes, seriously, when I read that Utah tops the list for average well-being I about choked on my cornflake casserole. I love my city (SLC), but seriously, larges areas of this state do not qualify as tolerant, wealthy, or well-educated. There are some major exceptions (SLC, especially in certain neighborhoods, Park City, and some areas of certain burbs), but I would be lying if I said that this was representative of the state as a whole. I am strangely suspicious that our ratings are being benefited by a) a majority group who are discouraged from admitting unhappiness and b) widespread anti-depressant use that, again, reinforces the idea that you can't say you're not happy.

It's just equal time. Homer's been shown in his sexy undies before. #margesimpsoncalendar
