    Didn't see a thread about this already, but the co-creator of the Simpson's passed away yesterday.


    I doubt there's many posters that haven't watched the Simpson's at least once in their lives.

    May he rest in peace.
    The Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon has died.

    The 59-year-old, who was an dedicated animal campaigner, passed away Sunday evening at his LA home following a long, difficult battle with colon cancer.

    Sam was diagnosed in 2012 and spoke publicly about his terminal illness.

    We all knew this was going to happen, was reported a fair while ago about his terminal cancer. Nonetheless it's very sad indeed :(

    Also supported an Irish gay bull.
    A gay bull saved after a campaign backed by Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon appears to have found romance within minutes of arriving at his new home.

    Benjy, from County Mayo, Ireland, was destined for the abattoir after showing more interest in breeding with other bulls than cows.

    He'd have been a great dinner guest.



    If he wasn't a vegan.

    In his honour I'll pick up a pack of doughnuts, a six pack of beer and have a Simpsons marathon tonight beginning with my personal favourite Frank Grimes.
