I really hope that’s what the Simpsons does and that it just not only makes sense, but that it’s the right thing to do

Your his agent. What would you advise him to do?

Tell him to defend his creative vision and bring this dude on the show for backup

We use to have Polish cleaning lady's do our house when I was a kid. They were really nice people. But one day the dad/husband came to pick them up. He was pissed. He was like YOU JEWS should be cleaning OUR HOUSES!

Now that . . . was worth reading. Great line on the parent photo: "Need I mention I will never be as cool as my parents."

Mom looked like a dish.

I wouldn't be too upset. I get the feeling they have the same disdain for us fat and happy americans even of polish ancestry. I can't tell you how many times I have heard the story "in old country I physician, but here..."

From cleaning ladies growing up to an old hermit fantasizing about killing a neighbor's dog. What a ride.
