Hey everyone, does anyone know where I could find an MPEG of the Smiling Joe Fission video? if someone could find one I would be very appreciatve.

Also Im running for student council and was hoping to use some politically related Simpsons quotes, so far the only one I could think of was "If you were running for mayor he'd vote for you."

Again, thanks.

Can't help you with the Smilin' Joe Fission, but maybe someone else can.

As for the quote, there's certainly a lot out there, but I would have to warn to be careful about using Simpsons quotes to actually run for an office. Some people (IE those who don't watch the Simpsons or haven't seen the episode(s) at hand) may not get the joke and will be confused. As well, The Simpsons is a satire at heart, so many of the slogans and quotes are parodies of real life, and hence intended to satire those slogans and attitudes. "....he'd vote for you", for instance, is more or less a send up of idiotic slogans that try to use the "human touch", with some exxageration so its visible as a send up. I wouldn't want my potential voters to think I was really for, say, "letting somebody else do it", especcially for those that don't get the joke.
