"Sorry for our behavior for the last ten years"?

Seriously people? I read one page and I'm disgusted, not at this game or the show or the writers though.

Some of you complainers need to remove the stick or what ever is jammed up your butts and stop getting so bent out of shape over someone else's freedom of speech.

Nobody can withstand a little Criticism, whether it is in jest or not.

As a right leaning Texan who spent two years in Iraq and has some all I can say is that this is a free game based on a cartoon and any stand they take one way or the other should be taken with a grain of salt. This isn't the first time the Simpsons have goofed on politics and it won't be the last. If we look hard enough anything can be offensive.

Enjoy your free fireworks, happy birthday America and happy belated Anzac and Canada days (respectively)

Or I could have the guts to travel inside myself, to discover what makes me tick and grow some self-awareness, to get stronger and more secure about myself, hence more loving, caring, understanding, tolerant, forgiving, etc. :wink:

PS: I think I've just described both root cause and root solution for basically anything, except for getting free donuts, that's a shame

Unless Harold and Kumar have led me astray, the folks in your neck of the woods may have some brownies that can assist with said journey of self-discovery :mrgreen:

It seems to be the conservatives taking most offense at this, but let's remember that for nearly half of the ten years Homer's apologizing for, a Democrat has been in the White House. So, while very much in keeping with the record of the game thus far in not being funny, the writers may at least be attempting to be even-handed.

I already got all the help I need from Seth and Munchie and their "personal vegetables", grown on their Groovy Grove Natural Farm, you know, the organic juice company just outside Springfield? :wink:

Great episode reference :thumbup:

I think the joke pooped the party. Why have an event that celebrates a day in the history of that culture if they are just going to turn around and club that culture over the head with mean spirited jokes that aren't funny?

I think that might be the most insightful take on the update that I've heard yet. Well said.

Personal introspection is a good thing! :)

Basically. "Happy birthday, USA! You all suck and the rest of the world hates you!" Hilarious. >.>

I blame myself
