I like the Simpsons. I like Canada. I like media critiques, cultural critiques, and especially social analysis of pop-culture phenomena. I work with academic research every day. I deal with plenty of leftist politics, given where I live. But I didn't like this book at all. Two parts Simpsons-fan one-upsmanship, two parts journo trying to overwrite his way to academic credibility, one part irrelevant Canadiana, and one part the "Don't you hate George W. Bush? Man, I hate George W. Bush. Doesn't everyone hate George W. Bush?" trope so common in early-'00s book releases with little topical connection to the U.S. president of the time, more intended to establish the author's cool factor than provide any information. He could've written a great social history by removing himself from the narrative and cutting the overwriting back one notch. I assume he knows this, given his professional success. I'm stuck with the conclusion that he didn't want to.
