D'oh, Donuts, and Lots of Dough

What is it about the Simpsons that is so enthralling? I personally have never been hooked on the show, and aren't likely to become so any time soon. In my entire life I've probably seen two episodes.

So what is it? An outlet for people's frustrations with bureaucracies and life in general? Just a good laugh? A thought provoking look at American life?

In any case, the website is good only because you can make a cool Simpsons avatar for yourself. Apart from that, I just shrug and go back to reading a good book.
