Simpsonize Us!

Jessica and I love to watch The Simpson’s . So much so that we actually went to their world on a recent vacation….
We didn’t really but it was fun to visit Simpsonize Me!
I know you’re thinking, “What’s a nice couple like you doing associating yourselves with a show that has been described as the root of all evil?” My parents banned us from watching The Simpson’s and condemned Bart’s behavior. They like to point out how it’s evidence of the things that are wrong with our society. I don’t blame them either, I’ll be banning our kids from lots of bad television, including The Simpson’s. After all, nobody ever actually said that all cartoons are for children.
But we love to laugh at The Simpson’s because we need to laugh at ourselves. After all, which of us males doesn’t look at Homer Simpson and see several ways that we’re like him? There is a little Homer in all of us. We recognize our tendency to be a little insensitive, a little rude, a little crude, but ultimately we’re trying our best to make it through this crazy world.
And Ladies, Marge is not the perfect homemaker and neither are you. It’s impossible to be. That’s the point Marge makes. We all make mistakes. The Simpson’s poke fun at almost every aspect of our lives and make commentaries on many contemporary issues.
Besides, every one of us, at the end of the day, wants to feel better about ourselves…even if we only feel like we’re doing better than The Simpson’s.
