"Well, it probably wasn't Bart's handiwork, but he'd no doubt approve of the prank that forced Dear Abby's editors to pull next Monday's advice column, which included a letter that mirrored an episode of 'The Simpsons.'"

"The column is titled 'Wife meets perfect match after husband strikes out.' In the letter, the writer describes herself as a 34-year-old mother of three who has been married for 10 years to a man who is 'greedy, selfish, inconsiderate and rude.'

"The writer says her husband, Gene, gave her a bowling ball for her birthday _ complete with the holes drilled to fit his fingers and embossed with his name. Undeterred, the woman decides to learn to bowl and heads to the local lanes, where she meets another man, Franco, who is 'kind, considerate and loving.'"

I read it.

Worst Emmy-Winner ever!

Wondering if they saw it on DVD, since what they have on TV doesn't make any sense!

That new Dear Abby isn't very swift. I saw her on Larry King a few months ago, and she seems a bit...unstable.
