[Hollywood News]: London, Nov 13 : One of America's favourite animated series, 'The Simpsons' is all set to take a dig at President George Bush as they will show him sending the entire Simpsons family to jail because Homer Simpson, the father of the family, bares his butt at the American flag.
The episode will show Homer mooning the flag after his shorts are pulled off during a game. The entire family is then sent off to America's notorious Alcatraz prison for being 'unpatriotic,' under the new 'Govt knows best act.'
In prison Homer's fellow jail mates will include anti Republican film director Michael Moore and the former US president, Bill Clinton. The family will finally escape while taking part in a reality TV show called 'Swimming for Freedom," report the Mirror.
"It takes a few light-hearted swipes at the heightened state of alarm in America as well as Bush's re-election and fears of terror attacks," the report quoted an insider as saying. (ANI) - Site.

Hey football sports fans and New England Pat fans, QB Tom Brady is set to be on the Super Bowl episode of the Simpsons.
The Feb. 6 installment of the long-running Fox-TV comedy will spoof last year's infamous Super Bowl half-time show that starred Janet Jackson's left booby.
In it, Homer's exotic dance routine wins him a gig as a choreographer for a chorus line of sports stars including Tom, Michelle Kwan, Yao Ming, LeBron James and Warren Sapp. Well! Judging by the last two Super Bowl parades, we know Tom could certainly use some help with his moves!
Sadly though, Homie asks his evangelical neighbor, Ned Flanders, to help him put on the Super Bowl half-time show and it is so inoffensive, viewers revolt! Full Story.

Entertainment Weekly talked to “The Simpsons” executive producer Al Jean who not only revealed secrets about upcoming episodes in the 16th season of the hit animated comedy but also an update on the possible movie.
According to Jean, the show’s writers are working on the long-promised feature film, with a targeted 2008 release date. They’ve even laid down some possible plotlines but won’t spoil anything this early.
“There are a couple things on the show that I steered away from what might be in the movie,” Jean says. “The biggest thing is you don’t want to do a movie that’s not reflective of the quality of the show, and you don’t want the quality of the show to slip because you’re doing the movie. So we’re taking a little time.”
