The Simpsons Visit Toronto This Sunday

... In the episode, the family boards a bus for Canada so Bart can visit girlfriend Greta (voiced by Reese Witherspoon), the daughter of a noted film director who is shooting a runaway movie production called Undercover Nerd. The family does, indeed, take in the sights, including the CN Tower and SkyDome, but also the Paramountie Studios and the Dodgers of Foreign Wars building.

And when Homer hears about the free medical care, naturally he immediately puts himself in harm's way.

Dodgers of Foreign Wars building. Ha!
You know, I never stopped to consider if American draft dodgers annoy Canadians as much as they annoy us. Sticking with the general assumption that Americans make awful tourists, I can't help but think they make even shittier neighbors... Enlighten me, would ya?

Not really, they're just like other Canadians really. It's not like you can spot a draft dodger in a crowd..

I suppose not. When I put myself in the shoes of Joe Canada, I want to think "Could you dodge somewhere else, please?" Then again, by working, paying taxes, and buying things they hopefully contribute something to society. Not to get to deep about things, you know -- the draft dodger joke just made me think about it.

I must say, I'm pretty disappointed in this episode. They were in Toronto for all of seven minutes. "Taking in the sights" was just a rapid-fire sequence of scenes with the Simpsons snapping photos at all the big landmarks.

*sigh*

Oh well.

The Simpsons hasn't been really good since season 7 or 8. I think they should bow out gracefully and save what little dignity the show still has left.
