Simpsons! Vote for Springfield!!!

Hey all!

I don't know how much you all know about the contest for which Springfield will host the premier of The Simpsons Movie.

Well, you've got to vote! This is very important. You've got to vote for Springfield Massachusetts! Check out the movie clip that they made and you'll see why!

The Simpsons Movie-Vote for Springfield!

Check out all of the Springfields. You might feel that you should vote for the Springfield that is in your state, or the one that you live in. Once you've seen the movie clip made fro Springfield Massachusetts, you'll see whay you have to vote for Springfield Massachusetts! At the end of the clip, Mayor Quimby, err, ah, I mean Ted Kennedy gives you a very good reason to vote for Springfield Massachusetts!

I'm serious here! Springfield Massachusetts is really like The Simpsons! A big, fat, stinking joke! Quimby, Skinner, Wiggams, Homer, they're all here!

Please vote for Springfield Massachusetts. If for no other reason, it'll give me something to pay attention to other than politics.

Vote Springfield Massachusetts. Because the drive by's are getting too frequent. The criminals need a distraction.

Vote for Springfield Massachusetts. Because mayor Quimby needs to skim the top off from some scheme.

Just vote. It's your right as an American citizen. Hell, vote even if you're an illegal alien for all I care.

I voted missouri, just because we could use the added publicity and revenue.

In the episode, Behind the Laughter, the narrator referred to them as a "Northern Kentuck Family." No need to cast a vote, the question has already been answered.

Yes. Well that is in dispute.

I've been here all my life and from what I've seen, this is the Springfield that The Simpsons takes place in. Perhaps the names have changed to protect the "innocent" but if you look, you will see.

Funny, I did not even read the article.

I've seen the episode about 20 times and it has always been Kentucky. Very clever on the part of the writers.

BTW, big Simpsons fan...I have a personalized and autographed sketch of Homer from one of the animators...many thanks to my brother in law for the connection.

To my knowledge, Springfield Mo does not have a nuclear power plant.
I belive that they use Hydro power and buy additional power from an outsource, although a bill was passed last year to build a new coal firing power plant and a section of land has been annexed. But it has not been built yet.

It's supposed to be an everytown with pollution, bad schools, nuclear meltdowns, the aforementioned mountain of burning tires, etc., etc.
