Perhaps Renaming EmX to “Matlock Expressway” Would Help

The Register-Guard has a front page story in today’s paper about Springfield’s efforts to host the Simpsons Movie premiere sometime in July:

City officials have accepted an invitation from 20th Century Fox to compete against other Springfields across the country in a contest where the winner will host the premiere screening of “The Simpsons Movie,” due out in July. The film is one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year.

“If we’re selected, that’s nationwide and even worldwide exposure for us,” said Springfield Mayor Sid Leiken – not to be confused with Mayor Joe Quimby, of the Simpsons’ fictional hometown of Springfield.

Worldwide exposure! This could be the start of a golden age for the Springfield tourism industry!

    Now all they need is a ‘One Size Fits All Lingerie’ in Gateway Mall. Or do they have one already…?
