Simpsons Halloween XVII ends with an Iraq War slam.
Edited on Sun Nov-05-06 08:32 PM by onehandle
"Kang, You said we'd be greeted as liberators." as Kang and Kodos stand over the ruins of Springfield.

"At least we still have their hearts and minds." Kang holds up a human heart and brain.

1. "I don't want to set the world on fire."
Edited on Sun Nov-05-06 08:36 PM by Botany
Flat out brilliant




I don't want to set the world on fire,

I just want to start a flame in your heart.



In my heart I have but one de - sire,

And that one is you, no other will do.


Bridge:

I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim;

I just want to be the one you love,


And with your admission that you feel the same,


I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me.


I don't want to set the world on fire,

I just want to start a flame in your heart.

5. That was great. Big time slam on * Iraq war.
my wife and me loved it. They have done other political segments, but this one rules -
especially right before the election. Go Homer!

9. that was the worst 'treehouse of horror' yet imo, but that was a great
ending to it.

- - -

"colonel kang, your report."

"ah, well, the earthlings continue to resent our presence." "You said we'd be greeted as liberators."

"don't worry, we still have the people's hearts and minds."

"i don't know, i'm starting to think operation enduring occupation was a bad idea."

"we had to invade, they were working on weapons of mass disintegration!"

"sure they were."

"this sure is a lot like iraq will be."

14. Groenig cut the line himself
he thought it was a bit too much, and no need to hit people over the head with the comparison.
