California Gets the Homer Simpson Treatment
What a dis! Or perhaps, a d'oh!
Producers of the forthcoming Simpsons movie chose Springfield, Vermont -- and not one of some 13 other cities of the same name in different states -- for the film's premier. But adding insult to injury, this E! News story about the decision lists the following as competing Springfields: "Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon and Tennessee."
See what's missing? Springfield, California!
OK, I didn't know there was a Springfield, CA, either, but Yahoo! Maps says there is. Apparently it's somewhere northeast of nowhere.
East Coast bias strikes again!
