Ashley Bristowe on a scathing review of her husband's book, Planet Simpson: “Seems to me that if The Simpsons was so universally accepted as genius, someone would have written a book prior to the fifteenth season of the show, hmmm? While everyone who's anyone in New York may be well aware of the show's brilliance and its gifts to the world, at least 70% of the deeply saavy media types we ran into on the various tours everywhere (including NYC) would eventually tip their heads to the side and lower their voices and ask Turner, "You do realize that it's just a cartoon, right?"”
Some intellectuals just don't get The Simpsons.
