Sunday, April 3, 2011 at 1:41PM | Matt Sager In lieu of a new Simpsons episode tonight, enjoy this delightful Moleman Montage. That's right, 2:40 of non-stop Hans!
Why, you ask? No clue, but it's fun so enjoy this little highlight reel that should have been subtitled "Blind Ambition," courtesy of the fine people at TehMontageFactory.

So in addition to suffering one of the greatest natural disasters ever, Japan's status with regard to fallout - pun SO not intended - from nuclear facilities compromised by the recent tsunami that has devastated the country, is not yet known.
How best to help? Volunteer work, or perhaps financial aid? Nawww too easy. Let's crack down on the real enemy, The Simpsons - a cartoon with an undercurrent of, in hindsight, rather well-placed nuclear paranoia.
In other crazypants news, Americans are sending bibles.
Seriously, television stations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland are combing through episodes of The Simpsons back catalogue with the aim of removing anything with humor based on nuclear energy from the airwaves. Yeah, good luck with that. That means any episode with Homer. Or Blinky the three-eyed fish, for that matter.
As of this writing, an Austrian network has pulled two episodes from the air, Season 4's "Marge Gets a Job" (guest starring Marie and Pierre Curie - who, uh, die from radiation poisoning), and season 16's "On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister."
I'm reminded of my days as a programmer at Sirius Satellite Radio, where after watching the towers fall from our glass skyscraper windows facing the World Trade Center, we were given an edict from high command to pull Tom Petty's "Free Falling", Van Halen's "Jump" and to search our souls and programming for anything else that might make you think of 9/11. As if EVERYTHING didn't make you think of it.
Broadcasting giants can't seem to do anything effectively these days, including processing grief.
UPDATE 6:38 PM
Creepy coincidence alert: today (March 28) is the anniversary of the 1979 nuclear meltdown at Three Mile Island.

Behold The Simpsons - The XXX Parody, available for pre-order from the always-classy Hustler. The promo clip is essentially SFW, provided you work someplace where watching goofy cartoon stuff with sexual overtones is cool, in which case please tell me where I can forward my resume.
But there's no nudity, and the impressions are surprisingly high-quality for you know - a Simpsons porno.
