Ever since I can remember, I've been a big fan of The Simpsons. Up until the sixth grade, I didn't know that FOX aired new episodes on Sunday, because up until that point, it had all been re-runs on a local WB (now CW) station. If I have the time, I'll stop what I'm doing, and I'll lie back in my chair, and just take in those funny yellow people.
For about the past three or four years, people have commented that the Simpsons no longer have viable storylines or comment on social issues as they did before, like immigration or gay marriage. But what keeps a show on is if it's ratings are good enough, and I see it going for a few more years. It's been on since 1989 ('87 if you count Tracy Ullman), but I think it's still modern and funny. Now to this post.
Last Sunday, I was watching an episode where Lisa makes a social networking site called SpringFace that ends up causing massive injuries to people since they're on the phones and driving. It mocked what I guess was their response to The Social Network, a movie about Facebook's rise based on a book. What got me particularly was the ending... so funny (I can't describe it, but you can watch it).
From Radiohead's 1992 album Pablo Honey, and a choir arrangement by Belgian duo Scala & Kolacny, is "Creep."
Just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
Float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
