Because you were a teenager, and to give a shit goes against the credo!

My parents were still in the anti-Simpsons mindset when this episode aired, so I didn't see it. I probably watched Home Improvement instead.

I hate you.

My favorite reoccurring Simpsons gag is the kids' imagined futures as southern-fried hicks, or any time the family unveils some weird hillbilly mannerism.

Hey, I'm not saying the movie was good, just that it was a big event.

Stop talking about Homer like he's some sort of food-crazed maniac. Deep down he's a very sensitive man!

Up here in the harsh hell of Northern New England, I see the sun set at 3 PM almost every single goddamn day. I can't wait for daylight savings to return!

I hate to nitpick with you, Adams, but the release of the movie was every bit an event as the hype around these episodes. There are STILL 7-11s that are dressed up to look like Kwik-E-Marts!

Last week's Toad The Wet Sprocket shirt had me laughing my ass off. R.E.M. love aside, which I completely sympathize with, I get a lot of enjoyment out of Ben's lame music taste.

I give a shit about Prince. Prince's music demands that a shit be given about it.

"It's just a little ugly! It's still good, it's still good!"

What Computers?

Oh yeah, it's so worth it. For instance, I never would have played Hotline Miami if I didn't get it with my subscription. Plus they have Ico and Shadow Of The Colossus, which I would have bought separately, so the subscription kind of pays for itself over time.

I agree, but in the used camera parts world boxes go a long way when you're reselling your equipment. I just sold a really old lens (Canon 20mm f/2.8, for anyone interested. Avoid it like the plague, it's garbage.) that normally would have gotten me around $350, but because I still had the box it got me $500.

I bought a PS3 last month when I learned that the PS4 wouldn't have backward functionality. At the rate I play games, I won't be ready for any PS4 titles until the PS5 launches.

The A.V. Club

I just bought a new lens for my camera the other day, a Sigma branded one for my 5D. The guy at the store kept saying, "Yeah, the Sigma is pretty good, but the Canon model is more pleasing. It feels right in your hand." He admitted the Sigma that I bought was, optically, every bit as good a performer as the Canon

The commercial actually debuted before ol' Lou died, so take solace in that. I just hate how the commercial uses the song as if it were played completely straight.

One of the best advantages I've found with Playstation Plus, aside from the games you get with the subscription, is the auto-update feature. I can set my PS3 to turn on and update at, like, 2 AM and I don't have to deal with any bullshit anymore. It even downloads game updates!
