The Simpsons’ Went it on Fox News lol
Fox News Channel and Dick Cheney both got their right wings seriously clipped on ‘The Simpsons’ Sunday night.
The episode opened with a Fox News helicopter hovering near the top of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. The incendiary slogan seen on the chopper: “Fox News: Not Racist But #1 With Racists.” Who was the producer of this episode – Rachel Maddow? The MSNBC talk-show host is just one of many liberals who have charged that FNC’s conservative points-of-view are rooted in racism, something the FNC talk-show personalities vehemently disagree with. Maddow famously leveled the racism charge on ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ in August.
A moment later, the chopper pulled alongside the famed statue’s headgear, and a passenger departed the aircraft to enter the statue through one of the openings there. The man’s exit left only the helicopter’s pilot who then exclaimed, as the chopper suddenly dropped and crashed: “We’re unbalanced, it’s not fair!” It was a direct hit on FNC’s famous motto: “Fair and balanced.”
In the episode, nuclear-power tycoon Montgomery Burns, the meanest man in Springfield, was believed to have died, and he was replaced as CEO of the town’s power plant by none other than Dick Cheney (not voiced by the real former vice president), who was portrayed as an angry sadist. The words on his business card even read: “Dick Cheney: Architect of America’s Downfall.”
It’s not the first time that ‘The Simpsons’ has poked fun at Fox News Channel – which is, of course, owned by the same company that owns the broadcast network on which ‘The Simpsons’ appears. The show has also smacked its own network over the years, and satirized the company’s chairman, Rupert Murdoch, who has appeared as himself several times on the series.
(The Simpsons still is 1 of my fav showes of all time)

LeBron: Cleveland fans could've done 'better job' on video
Cleveland, it turns out, has some very specific ideas about what LeBron James should do.
A video making the rounds on the internet, apparently posted on YouTube by a Cleveland filmmaker, remixes James' Nike ad in which he asks "What should I do?"
The ad was a response to the backlash James provoked with his nationally televised announcement that he would sign with the Miami Heat after playing seven seasons in Cleveland.
The video portrays different Cleveland sports fans and their disgust with James.
"Boston? Game 5? We watched. You quit," one fan says in the video, referring to last season's 32-point loss in the playoffs.
Before tipoff against New Orleans on Friday night, James said he had seen the video.
"It was all right," he said. "They could have done a better job."
The video ends with a fan on the street saying "We wanted you to be who you said you'd be."
That's immediately followed by a recording of James saying: "I got a goal. And that's a huge goal and that's to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland, and I won't stop 'til I get it."
Accompanying that is an image of the iconic ad banner with James' image and the words "We are all witnesses" on it, falling off a building. here the video
Kanye West: 'I'm Like The Rap Version of George W. Bush'
Just after George W. Bush dished to Matt Lauer that he felt Kanye West’s remarks about him represented an “all-time low,” Kanye shared his own thoughts on the former President.
When a caller contacted Kanye via Elvis Duran and the Morning Show and said she’d lost respect for him, Kanye replied back, “I am like the rap version of George Bush. I became George Bush…the irony, poetic justice of that was just so amazing. Just for [the caller] to say ‘I lost respect for you’ is just how a black person would completely say the same thing about George Bush.”
“The misery in Louisiana affected me deeply as well,” President Bush said of Kanye’s telethon outburst (via People). “There’s a lot of tough moments in [his new book, Decision Points]. And it was a disgusting moment, pure and simple.”
