Meh - New Words and Simpsons Sex

When I begin a blog post, I like to find an image to go with my post to set the tone for the blog entry. This isn't it.

I was initially intending to blog about the declaration that a Simpson's word, 'meh,' has now become an official word in the Collins English Dictionary.

The word is a statement of apathy, and is thought to originate from a 2001 Simpsons episode when the kids, Lisa and Bart, were asked if they wanted to go on a day trip. They merely responded 'meh' and continued watching TV.

Those compiling the dictionary claim that the word began to enter use in America, hit the Internet, and is now part of the spoken English language, thus earning a place in the dictionary.

Now what surprised me was what an innocent Google image search produced when I started looking for a Simpsons picture to put on my blog entry.

Let's just say there are some people out there with some serious time on their hands, and a strange obsession with Simpsons characters!

There are apparently entire web sites dedicated to every manner of sex act between any and all of the Simpsons characters, this would include copious amounts of incestual relationships and bestiality. Just about anything you can imagine, and probably things you hadn't really thought about the Simpsons characters doing!

The Internet is a strange world indeed.
