Death-by-iPod on the Simpsons
Did you catch The
Simpsons on Fox last night? Grandpa Simpson decided that he had had enough of life, and sought out a doctor that would
perform an assisted suicide for him. Once the arrangements had been made, Grandpa was wheeled into the execution room
and connected to the diePOD, which was the device that would
get the job done (while simultaneously providing the soundtrack). As grandpa lay on the table, awaiting the inevitable,
the diePOD played "Instant Death" by Megadeath.Now that's satire, folks.

At least it wasn't playing Eat up Martha.
Just waiting now for Bill Gates to buy out the business.
well, the first deathpod should be based on the first ipod, right?
By the 5th one, you can get the 2001 clip as you're fading into ...
What Jason #3 said. If you're going to write about something like you've seen it, don't make shit up from the pic. At no time, if you actually saw this, would you have thought they played a song by Megadeath. They were simply playing along the theme of death. So the moral is, don't lie, TUAW. It makes you look stupid.
