Homer is a great character as are all the simpsons.. they are comedic and funny and poke fun at pop culture at every turn... and in the process have become a pop culture icon. Sure they have their stinker episodes, but in general a show good for a laugh or two, and a show that never takes itself too seriously. There are no sacred cows,

it mocks religion

Apu : "Do not offer my god a peanut sir!"

Gay Republican's

Lisa: "Gay President in 2084?"
Gay Republican Guy: "Hey, we're realistic" Bill Clinton

Marge: "That's a pretty lousy lesson"
Clinton: "Let's face it, I'm a pretty lousy president"

etc... etc

The Simpsons are not reality, they are amusement. Its hard to believe 13 years or so ago they were believe to be the antichrist by some radical right wing religious organizations.... I'll take Homer over pop music anyday. Sorry Britany, but I don't care how young and in shape you are, when the mellons don't move at all.. they didn't come from a natural vine.
