Hey gamers, the IGN.com recently did a review on the new Simpsons Road Rage game. The game got a 7.5/10 and here's what they say: On the consoles, Electronic Arts didn't really hide the fact that it "borrowed" Sega's Crazy Taxi idea for the company's first Simpsons-branded videogame, The Simpsons Road Rage. And though the development team used Sega's title as inspiration, Road Rage had its moments but ultimately couldn't come close to the original Crazy Taxi design. It's a different story on the Game Boy Advance, though; players disappointed in the action and pace of the GBA Crazy Taxi: Catch a Ride might want to take a look at what THQ's brought to the system in the handheld port of Road Rage. Even though the game sorely lacks the Simpsons "flavor" that the console games flaunted, the GBA version is a surprisingly enjoyable, fast-paced action racer with a lot of gameplay modes and unlockables.

Hey fans, even though it's a hot summer you can now pick up some very nice warm Fleece Simpson blankets. There are currently 2 designs which we've found. The first is the one pictured which is the checkered board with Homer thinking about his favorite snack.. MmM..Donuts. The other design is more of a pattern of Homer and Bart images on a blue background. Each fleece comes in a large size of 46" x 63" and each is machine washable and 100% polyester. These fleece blankets range anywhere between $9.99-$14.99 depending on where you buy it. We've seen them at a few Spencers Gifts.
We all know about the religious influence The Simpsons show has caused in the past. "There have been papers as well as books published about finding the spiritual messages within the show that depicts the Simpson family foibles on Fox every Sunday night at 8.It's a phenomenon that's even been discussed in houses of worship, and it's currently the theme of a Sunday morning class at the First Presbyterian Church of Bonita Springs."Louis Thompson, parish associate for counseling ministry, is leading the class that explores the fabric of faith and spirituality in "The Simpsons" just as the book, "The Gospel According to The Simpsons" does.

Hey fans, some news for you all to use for the start of the new work week. First off our favorite groundskeeper actually has some fans from none other than his homeland of Scotland. The Scotsman that the Aberdeen Football Club acknowledges the fact that Willie is a fan of theirs. "Groundskeeper Willie, the bad-tempered, ginger-haired Scottish janitor from TV cartoon The Simpsons, revealed his allegiance in the latest episode - Scuse Me When I Miss the Sky - when he woke from a deep sleep to bawl: "Go Aberdeen." The club said they are delighted with the mention on the show, which is watched by millions around the world."
Hey baseball fans, Albuquerque Isotopes, a baseball team which was originally only fictional in Simpsons episodes and now a real team, is still making news. " Al Jean, head writer and executive producer of the show, thought it was amusing that the Isotopes had come to life in Albuquerque and told the Albuquerque Tribune that he hoped "we got a Duff beer concession for the new team." That's not going to happen. Apparently, "Simpsons" officials draw the line at their suds. An Australian company tried making Duff beer but got the word from Fox attorneys to cease and desist. But they have not stood in the way of the Isotopes name." Read it all Here.
