DEAR RICHARD,

I have received your letter of the 30th ult.

I have not read the letters I have received from you, but have come to the resolution of never reading another. It is enough that I hear that you are unhappy or in pain, without being obliged at every moment to renew the idea.

Good news! Now that Disney owns Fox, the Disney executives have decided to reboot "The Simpsons" for modern audiences. Disney wants to update the characters and story of "The Simpsons" and is making the following improvements to the show's premise:
- Instead of a sitcom about a blue-collar family living in Springfield, we're going to be telling an original story set in the future. The new series will focus on a family who are wealthy and live in a gated community called "Springfield."
- We'll be introducing robots into the mix as well.
- I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there's been a lot more robot stories lately. Robot stories are becoming very popular right now. The robot will be a recurring character.
- Marge will be a well-rounded character. She won't be just the wife that stays at home to cook and raise the kids and spout gospel all the time. We're going to give her a job. She'll be an aspiring writer.
- Lisa will become a lesbian.
- Bart will be cooler than he is in the show now. He'll be a drug dealer.
- Nelson will still be an idiot.
- The kids from "The Bad News Bears" will be recurring characters.
- Flanders will still be a pain in the rear.
- And, of course, there will be an evil corporation trying to take over the world.
- The series will be written by the same people who wrote "The Dictator" and "The Wolfman."
- The theme song will be written by the guy who wrote "Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
- The show will still be called "The Simpsons." (Ed. - This is a parody, right?)
- Fox has already greenlit the show. It will begin production this year.
- The only actor who has signed on is Michael Caine. He'll play the head of the evil corporation.
- All the other main characters will be written for TV.
- We want this to be the most realistic Simpsons ever made.
- Here are the changes we're making:
- Homer is a hard-working man. He gets up every morning at five to go to work at the power plant, where he saves children from burning buildings.
- Bart is a genius and a nerd. He's smarter than Bart Simpson ever was. He doesn't go to school, because he's too busy writing computer programs for his illegal financial business online.
- Lisa is a gopher at the EPA.
- Maggie is a beautiful, talented and brilliant child. She's a prodigy.
- The family live in a mansion.
- Marge is Jennifer Lawrence.
- Homer's father was in the war with the Grinch's father. They both saved each others' lives and now respect each other.
- Ned Flanders is the head of the media empire "Krustyland."
- Krusty the Klown is a transvestite clown. (Ed. - This one is a little strange, but in a good way!)
- Santa's Little Helper is a crazy, America-hating dog.
- Apu is a hard-working, stupid Indian man. (Ed. - Citing real life examples once again.)
- Principal Skinner is a strong, black man.
- Dr. Hibbert is a disabled, Jewish clown.
- Flanders is a Christian and a coward, who uses his faith to cover up his cowardice.
- Skinner is an atheist, but he's a patriot.
- Moe is a war hero, and really likes to drink. (Ed. - Another real life example!)
- Lenny is an illegal immigrant, working on a chicken farm to pay for his Law Degree.
- Carl is a happy, white skinned devil worshipper.
- All the Simpsons are single, except for Bart and Nelson, who are in a relationship.
- The show will be called "The Simpsons."
- All the other shows will become "The Simpsons" rip-offs.
- The main characters will watch them, and comment on how bad they are.

We want people to know that we're not trying to destroy "The Simpsons," we're just trying to make them better.

- Instead of a sitcom about a blue-collar family living in Springfield, they are now a family of professional footballers living in London, so the entire show will be set in the present day.
- The entire family will be black, because it's a comedy, and not all of the families depicted in the original show were white.
- The main character's name will be Lisa, because they are a girl.
- It will be a more sophisticated show, with more "black" jokes, and less "racist" jokes, because this is the 21st century and black people are no longer oppressed.
- Homer's last name will be "White" instead of "Simpson" to reflect his "diversity"
- They are making the show so it will be more relevant to people of today because "The Simpsons" is meant to be a timeless classic.
- There will be more football action! More action! More action!

Press Release: Disney Responds to Simpsons Reboot Controversy

Recently, we here at the Disney corporation released some details surrounding our planned reboot of "The Simpsons" television show. We announced a number of sweeping improvements to the characters and story which were met with negative feedback from fans.
We've heard your concerns about these changes and have listened. We are making several changes to the series that will improve its quality while maintaining the spirit of what made it so popular in the first place.
First, Homer Simpson will no longer be on the show. He is not only an iconic character, but he has been for many years. While we recognize his popularity, we feel that this would detract too much from the overall tone of the show.
Second, Marge will be written out of the show as well. While she has played an important supporting role, she has become more of a problem than a solution. Her character is so well liked by fans that her presence just became a nuisance to the production crew. We understand that she is popular and hopefully her future roles will be better.
Third, Lisa Simpson will be written out of the show. While her character has been a positive addition, we feel that it's time to get rid of her so that the main story arc can progress and the show can be more watchable.
Fourth, Bart will remain in the show. While we understand that he is a fan favorite and there was some discussion about removing him as well, we felt his antics were too important to the story of Springfield to cut.
Finally, there will be a complete reboot of the story. The makers of the show have promised it will maintain the same quirky humor that made the show so popular while also improved character development. The first episode will feature a different opening and a different family in the house.
We here at The Walt Disney Company are dedicated to the art of animation and look forward to bringing "The Simpsons" back to television in a big way.
Sincerely,
Edgar J. Disney

Report: 90% Of Waking Hours Spent Staring At Glowing Rectangles

PALO ALTO, CA—A new report published this week by researchers at Stanford University suggests that Americans spend the vast majority of each day staring at, interacting with, and deriving satisfaction from glowing rectangles.
"From the moment they wake up in the morning, to the moment they lose consciousness at night, Americans are in near-constant visual contact with bright, pulsating rectangles," said Dr. Richard Menken, lead author of the report, looking up briefly from the gleaming quadrangle that sits on his desk. "Whether it's a desktop model, a handheld device, or an integrated screen in the user's eyeglasses or clothing, countless Americans are all within arm's reach of a glowing rectangle."
According to the report, staring blankly at luminescent rectangles is an increasingly central part of modern life.
"The average American will spend upward of two hours every day doing absolutely nothing but staring at these glowing screens," Menken said. "For many, this is the most fulfilling part of their day."
Researchers were able to identify nearly 30 varieties of glowing rectangles that play some role throughout the course of each day. Among them: handheld rectangles, music-playing rectangles, mobile communication rectangles, personal work rectangles, and bright alarm cubes, which emit a high-pitched reminder that it's time to rise from one's bed and move toward the rectangles in one's kitchen.
"We discovered in almost all cases that Americans find it enjoyable and rewarding to put their faces in front of glowing rectangles for hours on end," said Howard West, a prominent sociologist on the Stanford team. "Furthermore, when citizens are not staring slack-jawed at these mesmerizing shapes, many appear to become lost, confused, and unsure of what they should be doing to occupy themselves."
"If they do not stare at rectangles, most people seem to just sit around and think," West added. West's team, which compiled its findings in the 700-page document entitled "The Rectangle Obsession," has urged the government to intervene in what it sees as a growing epidemic.
"The only potential remedy we can see is limited public access to rectangles," said Dr. West. "It's not perfect, but at least it's something.
While a majority of the iridescent shapes are employed for recreation, thought-relief, and during the late hours of the night, sexual gratification, others are used to effectively impart orders and commands to the American populace. According to researchers, these rectangles help to notify citizens about which brand of domestic detergent to buy, what direction to drive their vehicles in, and how many more seconds a food item must remain inside its revolving radiation chamber before it can be hurriedly consumed.
"These shapes serve as windows to an artificial world of breathtaking beauty and unsurpassed technological achievement," said West, staring forlornly at a blank patch of wall. "Behold, the human body is cast into an inhuman shadow of death when deprived of its glory. It's only then that we realize how the light hits a certain way on a woman's hair, and how that splendor can traverse the vast infinity of space to land on our planet. The infinite wonder of the cosmos, the miracle of life, and the secrets of the galaxy are all within these shapes."
Many citizens admit to being dissatisfied. Some experts believe this is because many of these rectangles are over ten years old. "I didn't realize just how far behind the rest of the world we've fallen," says Mary Cook of Gary, Indiana, who recently purchased a new pulsating rectangle after her eight year old one broke down. "Here I am, out of the loop, not knowing what's going on with my soaps or whether my cat is dead or alive."
"I wish ours was bigger," said Susan Miller, an Iowa homemaker who feels a deep sense of emptiness and fear when not in front of a luminous two-dimensional object. "Our neighbors across the street have one twice the size of ours."
The health effects of this condition have not yet been extensively studied, but the startling discovery that the American military has been using millions of unsuspecting civilians as guinea pigs was recently revealed in a leaked document released by the FBI. This document, found at an isolated safehouse in Kabul, is printed from an official U.S. military website.
In the 1940s, the United States military began toying with the idea of creating the most powerful weapon ever known to man: the television. Recent advances in physics had led military officials to believe that this "television" could be used to subliminally brainwash its viewers into loving their leaders and everything the country stands for.
<Syd> drat, you're good.
<Rach> I'm not done.
The military, however, did not anticipate the effects television would have on the rest of the world. Instead of brainwashing foreign enemies, American viewers became entranced by the new technology and American values, and soon they were no longer communist-sympathizing liberal atheists but rather gun-toting Christian conservatives that voted Republican. This unforeseen result of the weapon the military had created was soon used for good, as it helped spread American culture to foreign lands. Soon, the world became united as one, under the gaze of a flickering screen.
