[BNM] [OT] 'episode' of the simpsons written by ricky gervais

[Alex Studd]

Homer volunteers for a wife swap program in order to get the free HD TV 
they're offering, he swaps places with RG who plays David Brent, or 
someone very similar. RG falls in love with Marge whilst HS has to 
contend with RG's overbearing wife. Something else happens and probably 
HS ends up back with MS promising to mend his ways and not doing so 
immediately in a humerus way.

I haven't actually seen it but from the reviews and thousands of hours 
of the Simpsons i've watched that's what i'm guessing. I don't know how 
heavily the HDTV features but like other episodes of the Simpsons i 
suspect that there's a fair amount of "Fox Bashing" when the HDTV is 
mentioned, this of course will  be the usual "aren't we rebels? look 
we're being nasty about Fox/RM we're really underground." when actually 
they pointing out the fact that a not very nice Australian influences 
about 50% of the world population's thinking whilst making them pay for 
the privilege.

Is that about right?
