'The Simpsons' Mocks Apple

Matt Groening has a simple solution to cut the Windows ad budget: Let 'The Simpsons' do the work. That's essentially what they did on Sunday, when 'The Simpsons' launched into a six-minute lampoonery of all things Apple and Steve Jobs.

The fun begins when Springfield gets a Mapple store, and Lisa exclaims, "It's so sterile!" From jokes about the ubiquitous white Apple headsets to their fearless leader Steve Jobs, no stone is left unturned.
