I'm surprised they accepted that seeing as it's an attack on the merchandising of the Simpsons.

i think it's more of an attack on industry/commercialization/outsourcing and making huge markups and profit margins in general: as in, we paying a shit ton for all of our awesome stuff compared to how much they pay the workers in shitty factories in asia. basically an attack on all that we see on tv and the fact that we buy it up. thought it was really well done and a cool thing to have broadcasted so widely. my 2 cents

the first part which had his name everywhere seemed a bit poser for banksy but the rest was sick.

i noticed that too, but i think he was just trying to make it clear that he was behind it.

i'm a little surprised that they aired it too, but banksy is a genius.

It's not like he animated the thing by himself and dumped it on 'em five minutes before it aired...

yea really. anti-consumerism is genius now? I think I've heard drunk homeless people in subway stations that some of you would consider genius.

I'm not saying it wasn't good or interesting, but I'm not quite blown away by its sheer genius.

I think the fact that Fox is okay with airing such a blatant criticism of their practices is interesting.
