The Simpsons have pissed off Morrissey

Quote

The singer was satirised during the episode Panic on the Streets of Springfield, which aired in the US on Sunday night. In the episode, Lisa Simpson becomes obsessed with a fictional band called the Snuffs and befriends its frontman, Quilloughby.

The character, voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch, is a young, depressed British singer from the 1980s who, like Morrissey, is vegan and sports a quiff. The episode features other nods to the singer, including an Oscar Wilde poster, and parody song titles including How Late Is Then, Hamburger Homicide and Everyone Is Horrid Except Me and Possibly You.

It turns out, however, that Quilloughby is a figment of Lisa’s imagination and her dream is shattered when he morphs into a grey, meat-eating, overweight man with anti-immigrant views.

I can’t remember the context but saw this tweet today and remembered the discussion about child like eating on here with @NotThePars


It’s a reach to say that’s where all veganism comes from but it’s certainly an element of it. I have known at least two vegetarians who thought animals were dirty and unhygienic. I suppose this is a very human emotion, it’s probably at the root of taboo meats in religion to some degree.

Have they seen what they use to fertilise vegetables....

The Simpsons ended in 1998 so you're a bit out with your timeframe

Have any P&B fans got out of jail then chopped up someone with a machete, burned out a car, stolen a bunch of other cars, murdered someone with a shotgun then driven a car full of drugs through quiet bits of Edinburgh at over 100mph? Apart from Clyde fans, obviously. Very Grand Theft Auto-esque.

Has there ever been a confirmed motive for this guy killing Welsh? Or was it just a lunatic going on a spree like it reads on the story?

I’d say in the tree of criminal gangs, he’d be seen as expendable muscle. A local (to you) boy who wanted to impress the tough boys from tough estates from school, then impress the bigger local criminals, then the bigger criminals once in jail. He has condemned himself to a life inside and a life living in peril. If he says who told him to do it then his life would be in immediate danger. If he’s ever let out of prison then his life is in immediate danger unless under a witness protection scheme on another planet.

I am taking the lead in the "are my kids middle class" debate after the following exchange....

Bb1 "whats for dinner?"

Me "chicken in that nice sauce you like"

Bb1 "Is it coq au vin dad?"

Me *looks around to see who is in earshot of this* "aye, its coq au vin"

A strong contender. Cocks in vans, aeroplane seats that aren't beds and daily demands for olives. We're crushing this dad stuff, lads.

My nephew at East End park 

“Can I have one of those croissants”, as he points to a steak bridie.

And I’m about to do a Teams meeting about my daughter’s school trip to Costa Rica.
