As promotional stunts go, this one from the FXX (cable)
network borders on a public service. I’ll make this quick as I don’t know what
time it is wherever you are, but as of 10 this morning and running through the
final moments of the Labor Day holiday, FXX is running a marathon of every episode of The Simpsons
ever made, in order *.
Should definitely make for some quiet streets in neighborhoods
across the country as some of us struggle to answer Bart’s age-old question, “What
if you're a really good person, but you get into a really, really bad fight and
your leg gets gangrene and it has to be amputated. Will it be waiting for you
in heaven?”
Rumor has it that may be the tie-breaker used by
the next College of Cardinals to determine who becomes Pope. (Having your own
hat will no longer be enough, Kelly; just sayin'.).
I can’t imagine watching all of it (actually the people I
work for have told me they can’t imagine it as I’m supposed to be at my desk at work for at least eight hours of it every work-day , so I, too, can’t imagine it) but
I can imagine there are plenty of folks
who will do exactly that and post about it on Social Media Uber Alles as it’s
happening.
For my part, I’ve always loved Bart’s scribbling on the
school blackboard as punishment though never more than when he scrawled “I will
not surprise the incontinent.” We’re
all gonna die, Lis.
