 "I don't want to oversell this book, but it's better than ten Super Bowls! Probably fourteen to sixteen Super Bowls to be exact. Highly entertaining, thought-provoking and, most importantly, funny. Using The Simpsons, Denise Du Vernay and Karma Waltonen have given us a new way to look at the world and that's pretty cool. This isn't just for academics: any Simpsons fan with half a brain will enjoy it, and those with full brains will love it!" -Josh Weinstein, former Showrunner, The Simpsons; current Co-Executive Producer, Futurama Simpsonology [simp-suhn-ol-uh-jee]
