    Id really like if they had an episode where they come to Ireland expecting a warm welcome and discover Dublin is just as bad as New York. Now that would be funny

    Yeah they could visit places like Baille na Mhun and Bally Fermot and get robbed or attacked and maybe Homer could jump off O'Connell bridge only to land in a pile of mud and dirt, then he gets sent to hospital and gets left on a trolly(nice health service) for a couple of days, then he gets beat on by Keano and Shane McGowan offers him some drugs, homer gets rampant diarhea from Guinness, knocked down by the lUAS loses his bag on flight and an POSt arse up his bag being sent to his hotel. The flight goes on fire and Homer paracheuts out and gets impaled on the spire.

    Practically writes itself.

    It definately done in jest. In the commentary on the DVDs they say how all their writers are either part Jewish or Irish.

    It is so refreshing to hear a group of people go, "yeah, we know they're joking, and we think it's funny too." God, the world needs more of that.

    If you cant laugh at yourself then what can you laugh at!......to be fair while most of it may be stereotypical, a lot of the jokes are at the expense of the 'im IRISH' community in the US.

    As one famous (so famous i cant remember his name) political commintator said, for an American president to be successful he needs to take care of the 3 I's - Israel, the italians and the Irish.

    God knows, the Simpsons take the piss out of the other two as well:D

    No mention of Thay Irish lad in the Simpsons Movie in that link! They clearly warm to the Irish, and find us a bit mad, as most Americans do!
