Taking a break from studying for a bit, decided to post this, since I just saw it and thought it was quite awesome. It's really weird and a bit shocking and thought provoking. What do you think?

so damn intellectual
That was a brilliant opening sequence.
I laughed my ass off SUnday when I saw this oon TV.
I saw this the other day. I died laughing! I always wondered how they made their merch.
Wow, I can't believe Fox gave the "go-ahead" for this. I didn't find it offensive or anything, but I can understand that quite a few people could.
this is quite amazing!
i actually saw it
i think it was awesome and dark
1st interesting thing about the Simpsons in almost a decade!
controversial!
Who is Banskyfilm? Pretty amazing and sad...

sad truth, but true...
deep

<3 Banksy
i saw it on youtube the other day, and it made me laugh.
everytime i see a show that defies the rules of politically correct and gets away with it, i regain hope in freedom of speech in our society.
haha this i laughed alot, oh so thats what they stuff the dolls with! haha
Wow! The Simpsons trying to be political I suppose? All the other shows are doing it (Family Guy, South Park) lol

haha pretty funny stuff
Very sketchy material
It it awesome!
What god damn heroes of the information generation... I'm starting to notice alot of common themes in various films and shows and music that all seem to coincide with the reality of capitalism... Which worries me even more, as we have all grown up knowing every diamond, fur, car, soda, electronic upgrade for a slightly less good version... We know all of this will rape and enslave entire countries that we never have to see, most won't have to do the shooting, and only a few rich monarchy's do the decisions. We know all of this...
And I still drink Mountain Dew.

whoa i never saw this opening before...definitely controversial
oh wow that was moving!
What was that?
Banksy did a good job. Love his stuff.
Rather classily done.
Very thought provoking, I wish more people knew of the Art History world, it's so freakin interesting!
This is great!
really getting tired of all the banksy hype when hes not that great of an artist, hes a tallented tagger yes, but that doesnt cut it for good art with me
Got to love the Simpsons for not being afraid to say something that upsets people.
