» Scary "Gay" Flap.

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network are pissed at The Simpsons after bully Nelson Muntz described something as "gay" on the sitcom's Halloween special, which we can understand. The funny thing, though, is that at the end of the sketch - during which Muntz gets eaten by a giant, racist pumpkin - Muntz declares, "I'd rather die than hate." Apparently not. [E!]

Homer Simpson's adventures in celebrity killing took a turn for the gay during The Simpson's annual Halloween special last night.

After accidentally chopping up Krusty, a scene that was gross even in cartoon form, Homer gets hired by advertising executives looking to exploit gay celebrities, who can't sue for image misappropriation. Anyway, Homer's so good at offing the A-Listers, that their ghosts decide to get revenge. And one of those ghost's a randy Abe Lincoln, who, as some of you may know, may have had some gay history. Homer gets his comeuppance, of course, which suits Abe's taste, although George Washington may have something to say about that. Just saying!

We could post some really bad video, but we're hoping someone out there can give us better goods?


Who's afraid of voter fraud this November? If you are, we can't blame you - those electronic voting machines haven't been the most reliable.

In case you forgot about past electoral woes, here's a frightening clip of Homer Simpson attempting to vote for Barack Obama, which turns into five votes for John McCain and, ultimately, the beloved cartoon character's downfall.

It's an American tragedy.


You know how The Simpsons has that couch gag? Well, some blessed fan has spliced them all together to make this super incredibly amazing montage of every set-up ever.

Hey, it's Friday, what else are you going to do?


From the editor: While The Simpsons will always be my first prime time, illustrated love, the long-running sitcom can't compete with Family Guy's outrageous musical interludes.

Remember the AIDS song that had you lot seething? Well, this one - "Prom Night Dumpster Baby" - may beat it out as my favorite Family Guy tune. It's not nearly as offensive, however. Unless you're a prom night dumpster baby…

Former boy bander Lance Bass popped into a Simpsons-sponsored "Kwik-E-Mart" yesterday for a slurpee - oh, we're sorry, a "squishee" - and donut.

Be careful with those donuts, Lance. Sure, you look fairly fit and all, but you definitely don't want to carry any extra weight when your crazy ex-boyfriend Reichen goes on a killing rampage, which he will…

The American Family Association has a long history of inciting riots against "pro-gay" companies. They've got their on-and-off hate affair with Wal-Mart. And of course there's their "victorious" campaign against Ford's dalliance with GLAAD.

But how do the "traditional" family focused rabble rousers know which brands to brand enemies of their fundamentalist state? They subject themselves to hours and hours of gay-endorsed television, of course. The group's project summary:

Between February 11 through May 5, American Family Association monitored the top eight prime-time network programs featuring lead or supporting homosexual characters. These programs were specifically identified by the activist-homosexual group GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) as GLAAD Media Award winners, or as showcasing leading or supporting homosexual characters.

Of the eight shows - The Simpsons, ER, The Office, The Class, Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy - four air on the Disney-owned ABC. That means the AFA's going to have to add the media giant to its list of offenders, which already includes Ford, Verizon and Quaker Oats. The AFA's got quite a battle ahead.

If they're really serious about taking down fag-friendly firms, AFA members should again take GLAAD's advice: the media watch dog has a rundown of all the gay pride month televisuals.

• There's a scourge wreaking sartorial havoc on gay communities - men who refuse to age gracefully. Pretty scary, right? Don't worry, Patrick Huguenin can help. First, you have to decide where you're coming from and where you want to go. We're leaning toward a rake (pictured). Pretty sexy for a sketch, no? [Genre]
