Springfields go Head to Head to be Real-Life Simpson's Town Edit

Springfields go Head to Head to be Real-Life Simpson’s Town

In a fight for the lowest common denominator Springfields from Oregon to Massachusetts are strutting their worst this effort to be crowned the “real-life” version of the cartoon comedy, The Simpsons. Only Springfield, Minnesota had the sense and good taste to know the benefits of distinguishing between reality and camp entertainment.

SPRINGFIELD, Vt. - With a bowling alley, a pub, a prison and a nuclear power plant just down the road, Springfield, Vt., likes to think itself a real-life version of the home of "The Simpsons." Now, the town is going all out to prove it, joining 13 other Springfields from across the nation in a contest, with the winner hosting the big-screen premiere of "The Simpsons Movie" July 26. The public will choose the winner in a USA Today online vote. The competition is stiff. Springfield, Ill., has its own power plant, run by a man who looks a lot like Mr. Burns, head of the nuclear plant on "The Simpsons," said Tim Farley, executive director of the Illinois' Springfield Convention and Visitors' Bureau. The school is identical and the city is not far from Shelbyville, the town next to Homer Simpson's Springfield, he said. (news.yahoo)
