Homer Simpson Seriously Needs to Update His Website

Posted on | May 13, 2010 | No Comments

Isn’t it time that Homer Simpson relaunched his website? One of my favorite Simpsons episodes of all time is “The Computer Wore Menace Shoes”, in which Homer creates his own site. His first attempt satirizes the trend at the time of substituting flashy (and annoying) graphics for useful content. It may be the most annoying website of all time. Here it is:

Lisa gets Homer back on track, building him a basic website he can use to post his news and ideas. He starts posting unique information on Mr. X. All the Muck That’s Fit to Rake. He posts unique and useful content that can’t be found anywhere else and voila, his site is an overnight success.

Sadly, Homer strays from a more ethical journalistic tradition and just starts posting weird rumors like that Spanish and Italian are the Same Language, or New Race Discovered Living Six Inches Under Denver — All Named ‘Mortonson’. Soon enough, the website is abandoned entirely. The world is a sadder place for that.

Homer, won’t you do us all a favor and relaunch your website? Maybe integrate a blog in there, throw in some RSS feeds and actually build in some navigation buttons up top? Your voice has been dearly missed on the Internet and we want you back.

By the way, if any of my readers are thinking of relaunching their own websites after years of neglect and may need some professional help to update their written content, feel free to contact us. Cheers.
