Mayor Mel Lastman, Toronto's intelligent and highly respected mayor (NOT!), was asked - and this is true - to proclaim this past Sunday "Simpsons Day". He refused (even though he's already rewarded the WWF with a day to call their own).
After seeing how little Toronto content was in the ep, maybe Bad Boy Mel isn't as dumb as he looks nor as stupid as he sounds.
Nah, who am I kidding?

Mayor Mel: "It wasn't an episode about Toronto. It was an episode about a little girl falling in love with a little boy. And this little girl has two sons out of wedlock, fathered by the little boy (who happens to be married to a different little girl). And then, after the little boy gets the little girl to sign a waiver and pays her some money to just disappear, the sons (after many - *many* - years) hold a press conference saying that the little boy - now the number one politician in the largest city in Canada - is their long lost daddy.
Frankly, I didn't think the episode was funny at all."
