Ha-ha!

Square Pegs

Published: January 6, 2008

Great bit on tonight's election-themed episode of The Simpsons. Dan Rather introduces the media questioners for a presidential debate -- himself, someone from ABC, Arianna Huffington, someone from Slate.com and a Washington Post reporter "from the print media" (spoken with delicious derision).

Up pops Nelson with his usual taunt-and-point: "Ha-ha!"

And the punchline: "Your medium's dying!"

I laughed so hard I missed the next scene. That, friends, is exhibit A in my new seminar, "Why the Simpsons has got its groove back this season."

A bounty to whomever can provide an embed of the clip.

Here's the video. Gets funnier every time I watch it:

Meantime, my friend and new media pioneer / survivor Jonathan Weber says print is making a comeback this year:

Watched this last night and immediately thought of Pegasus - was hoping you saw it.

And even though this is the only recent episode of the Simpsons I've seen, I agree that it's certainly taken a turn for the better.

OUCH! You know it's true when it makes primetime. Where are my doan's pills? I think I will spend the rest of the day writing my obituary. I don't mind being called a dinosaur I just want to be able to pick a cool one, like tricerotop or pterodactyl (sp?). As my last will and testament, I bequeath my Hot Wheels collection to Nelson Muntz.
