Homer Simpson Explains the Problem with Electronic Voting

Mark Wilson — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:15:00 EDT

Conspiracy theorist or not, any time I'm typing information into a computer at any time of the day, I know that it can be lost at a moment's notice, by the simple glitch of a program or power supply. There's simply no permanence to digital information, which makes the potential alteration of such data both frightening and perfectly realistic. Apply that principle to something like a presidential election, and the prospects become downright scary. That is, unless you're Homer Simpson. Then it's just kind of funny.

Homer Simpson USB Hub; Not Classic Simpsons

Haroon Malik — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 16:00:00 EDT

Unlike the television show, the Simpson's official merchandise line usually sucks big time. This USB hub is no different; the six inches of plastic will spin around and yell, "Woo-hoo!" Everytime you plug in for some juice... every damn time. Fortunately, there is an option to turn off Homer's spinning/yelling action, for the preservation of your sanity. However, chances are, if you just dropped $50 on this you have already lost your sanity. No USB hub in the land will save you from living out the rest of your life as Jim Carrey in Me, Myself and Irene. You will of course not be as good looking, charming or funny and you'll have an annoying USB hub. Tough break, kid. [Product Page via Uberreview].

Homer Simpson Robosapien Caught on Video

In the realm of horrible Simpsons knockoff toys, this Homer Simpson Robosapien has to be one of the worst ever. Shall we count the things wrong with it? First, it's not even the real Homer's voice. Second, well, it's a piece of crap. Watch the video to see Shiny Shiny struggle to get the thing to work. [Shiny Shiny]

Unlike TV Counterpart, Homer Fridge Magnet Says Just One Funny Thing

www.gizmodo.com — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 09:26:10 EDT

And that is "Hey Buddy, mind if I lick that cap?" It's just over 10 inches tall, costs around $50 and it does what all useful fridge magnets should do - namely crack open a cold one with the minimum of fuss. Actually, I'll give it another one. "Hey, excuse me, but I've noticed that you've fallen behind with your drinking." That's the Homer we know and love, a yellow, boggle-eyed vision of responsible boozing. – Ad Dugdale
