Simpsons News — Posted 23 Sep, 2002 by MrBurns

Hey fans, some news on products and news from around for you this time around. First off we have a final look at the anticipated Simpsons Card game which is to be released soon in the states by Wizards of the Coast as we previously mentioned. This picture is of the same game but from Germany which already has the game out. Just like with most card games there are pre-made card packs and then you can buy booster packs.

Truthfully that's about it for now with the products, there has been news of an "Art of Simpsons" book which is to be released in the near future but not too much info on that product yet. On to the news...

Ever picture Homer playing MacBeth? Well Rick Miller has. The guy can do over 50 Simpson character voices and has decided to put the excitement back into Shakespeare by incorporating our favorite family into it. Do the creators have a problem with it? Nope, they even helped him cut through the red tape of legalities with Fox. Read the full story on MacHomer by clicking here.

In other news, a recent poll reveals that although the name Albuquerque Isotopes can raise a lot of money for the team, fans don't like the name! "The Journal reported in a copyright story Saturday that 55 percent of those polled dislike the name, 31 percent like it and 14 percent haven't decided.
Ken Young, president of Albuquerque Baseball Inc., has said an earlier, less formal survey by The Albuquerque Tribune found a similar margin – but this time favoring the name. He suggested those who don't like it will get used to it." Nice way to let the people decide. Read the full story Here.

Finally, Rolling Stones Magazine has reported on the upcoming Simpsons episode "How I Spent My Strummer Vacation" which airs November 10th.
