Friday Link Dump

"Look boy, either Michael Jackson is some guy working in a recording studio in L.A., or he's here with you willing to work on this song." - Leon Kompowski 

Will posting links to random things that mention The Simpsons become a Friday tradition?  Do you care?  I sure don't.  

Michael Jackson in 1992: 'I think I had a crush on him' - Looking back on it, Michael Jackson's association with Bart Simpson is one of those pop culture coincidences that just makes the mind reel.  Watch the 'Do the Bartman' video, especially the pelvic thrusting, and tell me it isn't weirder than the Super Bowl XXVII halftime show.  (Also, there are more and better visual gags in that video than in all of Season 20 so far.)  

The world's funniest orgasm - Sex advice columns are proof that our culture is capable of working at hilarious cross purposes.  This has almost nothing to do with The Simpsons, but invoking an animated, ten-year-old child to describe an orgasm laugh is too good to pass up.  

It's hard work being an ant - I have no idea what this is about (there are several others if you click on the author link), whether or not the survey being referenced is real, or what the other choices besides "Homer Simpson" were.  Let's move on.  

Grand Funk Railroad - Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.  I would also submit this as further proof of why Homer and Marge are out of place in 2009.  

Laura Yeager: "Tips for the Bipolar Marriage" - I suppose someone with diagnosed bipolar disorder gets a pass on glaringly poor usage like this:

Hold a weekly family meeting to discuss your issues. Ours were called the “Eat My Shorts” sessions, in homage to Homer Simpson.

That done, there is an entire magazine dedicated to bipolar people and the website is www.bphope.com?  That's a terrible business model; if you show people how to live comfortably with their disorder then they won't need your magazine.  

10th-Grader's Site nocussing.com Inspires No Cussing Week in L.A. - Hey, kid: fuck you.  Also, "the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors issued a proclomation [sic] that the first week of March will be "No Cussing Weak.""  You know what, they're right, cussing is week.

Profile: Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land is in the driver's seat - If I hadn't had such positive recent experience with the Michigan DMV, and I'm serious about that, I'd be pissed about this photo:

Doin it and doin it and doin it in public - People worry that the internet is going to destroy libraries as we know them, but can you fuck inside the internet?  I think not.  Nit pick time:

Even Homer and Marge Simpson rekindle their sex life by doing the deed at a miniature golf course.

They were interrupted when they were trying to rekindle their sex life; it was when they were young and unmarried (like most of the kids in the article) that they actually joined the castle club.  

Marge's Lesbian Fantasies. - I really don't think (and most of the commenters agree) that this was a pro-feminist image.  The whole episode sucked anyway.
