In 2013, the item received an unexpected spurt of fame when Josh Gates, host of the SyFy reality series Destination Truth, ordered a T-shirt on Amazon and received a pair of hamburger earmuffs by mistake. Initially bemused, Gates soon saw the funny side of the mix-up, and began to tweet pictures of himself wearing product, leading to a demand that soon saw the earmuffs sell out.

In 2012, an outraged customer from Thiensville in Wisconsin, Bill Wisth, phoned the police and organised a picket, after an "all-you-can-eat" fish restaurant refused to continue serving him. Closer to home, the same year saw two men banned from a Brighton restaurant, after allegedly regularly abusing its "all-you-can-eat" rule. 20. When the Albuquerque Isotopes became a real baseball team In the 2001 episode Hungry Hungry Homer, local minor-league baseball team the Springfield Isotopes decided to move to New Mexico and become the Albuquerque Isotopes. Two years later, real-life team the Calgary Cannons announced a move to Albuquerque. When they held a contest for Albuquerque citizens to name the new team, the winning entry was: the Isotopes. Like Springfield, which houses a nuclear power plant (where Homer works), New Mexico is also home to several nuclear research facilities. The term isotope, which refers to a particular form of an element (often a radioactive one) is frequently used in nuclear research. 21. When real-life voting machines began changing people's votes

Yoko Ono's new exhibition at the Reykjavik Art Museum features a fruity artwork that may give Simpsons fans a sense of déjà vu. It's a sly nod to the 1993 Simpsons episode Homer's Barbershop Quartet – a send-up of The Beatles, in which Homer's band the Be Sharps are propelled to stardom, until one of his bandmates (local drunk Barney) starts a relationship with a Japanese conceptual artist (a thinly veiled Yoko Ono). In one scene at Moe's bar, the artist orders "a single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat."
Andreas Antona Chef Owner Andreas Antona’s early years were spent working in kitchens in Germany and Switzerland, providing him with excellent training. Since then, he has worked with some of the biggest names in the chef world, including Michael Quinn MBE, Britain’s first celebrity chef and Anton Mosimann OBE. He left London to work in the Midlands and it was in the renowned Plough and Harrow in Birmingham where he began winning international acclaim. In 1993, Andreas opened his first restaurant Simpsons in Kenilworth and was among the first restaurants in the area to win a Michelin star. Andreas left the kitchen to focus on life as a restaurateur and took over The Cross in Kenilworth in 2013, he is also part of the team behind Pure Bar & Kitchen in Birmingham. Luke Tipping Chef Director It could be said that Luke Tipping entered the chef profession by mistake, when his father found him a job at the Plough and Harrow – a once renowned hotel restaurant in Birmingham. It was during his time there that he met Andreas Antona. After five years at the Plough, Luke moved on to set up Simpsons in Kenilworth with Andreas, the restaurant achieved a Michelin star in 1994. Ten years later, the team set up a second, larger restaurant in a grade II listed building in Edgbaston, Birmingham. Within just one year, Simpsons Birmingham had achieved a Michelin star which it maintains today. In 1999, Luke was awarded the first ever Midlands Chef of the Year Award. He received a Professorship of Culinary Arts by University College Birmingham in October 2010, in recognition of his efforts in promoting the next generation of kitchen stars. Luke has worked at Simpsons for 20 year and describes his cooking style as natural, seasonal and free flowing.
"There were some eyebrows raised when the court list was published," a court worker said at the time. "It's a bizarre coincidence that Bart Simpson is actually on trial in front of Mr Burns, but it'll proceed as any other criminal case would." In the event, the real-life Mr Burns let Simpson off with a fine and community service, acknowledging that the gun had been left in the bag due to a genuine mistake.

It’s time ‘The Simpsons’ bowed out gracefully By Alex Flood Mar 11, 2017 The Simpsons This month, the longest running prime time series in television history finishes its 28th season. We’re talking, of course, about The Simpsons. Since 1989, Matt Groening’s dysfunctional cartoon family has provided a conveyor belt of laughs for millions of viewers worldwide. 614 episodes, 27 ‘Treehouse Of Horror’s and more than 80 trips to the hospital (for Homer) later and it’s time to shut up shop. ‘Surely not?’ I hear you cry. ‘It’s an institution!’ That may well be, but there’s many reasons why the good ship Springfield should weigh anchor and sail gracefully off into the sunset. Here are some of the most convincing. Quality It’s long been argued that The Simpsons peaked creatively some time in its first 10 seasons. Unfortunately, it’s been all downhill since then. Greatest episode lists are strewn with well-known classic titles like ‘Last Exit To Springfield’, ‘Marge and the Monorail’ and ‘Homer The Great’ — all from series four to six. But who remembers ‘Homer Scissorhands’ or ‘The Wife Aquatic’? Exactly, no one. Furthermore, to all those saying ‘better B+ Simpsons than no Simpsons‘ I answer thus: it might look like B+ now, but wait until season 35 when they’ve really run out of ideas. Much better to stop now while it’s not too painful. Ratings The show’s ratings have been declining for several years now and in 2017 they’re lower than ever. Episode 14 ‘Fatzcarraldo’ pulled in only 2.4 million US viewers on February 12, far below earlier seasons’ average of more than 20 million. See below for a graph illustrating the decline. What’s clear from this data is that the franchise has been on a serious slide since about 2005. Now ratings aren’t everything, but no one wants to see a beaten man pummelled further. The show should quit now and retain some dignity. Toddwschneider.com The focus has shifted Recently, Homer and Co. have been making headlines for their weird psychic powers. It turns out that the show has predicted the future on a spooky number of occasions. First there was The Rolling Stones’ endless touring, then plonker Trump’s election as president and most recently Lady Gaga’s Superbowl performance. This is all well and good, but the trend also proves that people aren’t talking about the latest episodes anymore. Instead, viewers are reminiscing about past moments, some more than ten years old. A sure sign that a franchise is going down the pan. Retirement and death Back in 2015 Simpsons legend Harry Shearer quit. The voice of countless iconic characters from the show (Burns, Ned Flanders, Skinner etc) and veteran of 26 seasons had finally decided to pack it in. It was a worrying time for Springfield fans. Thankfully the 73-year-old changed his mind two months later and signed on for another two seasons, but you can bet it won’t be long before he starts thinking about leaving again. In sadder news, actress Marcia Wallace (voice of Edna Krabappel) passed away in 2013 after 24 years working on the show. More recently, longtime writer Kevin Curran died at his Los Angeles home in late 2015. The Emmy-winning scribe had been on staff since 2001. What this proves is that the old guard are moving on. Original cast-members and creative brains behind the series’ unprecedented success are retiring or falling ill and its time to stop while the going’s still good. The Simpsons can never die Whatever your opinion of the new episodes, the show’s long-lasting appeal is undeniable — and that’s why it should call it quits. There’s just so many timeless moments from the past that we don’t need any new ones. So if you get sad at the prospect of no fresh yellow-people antics in the future, just think of that time Homer skateboarded off Springfield Gorge, or when Mully and Sculder made a cameo, or when Sideshow Bob stood on all the rakes. Oh, and if that won’t do, gather a bunch of mates, load up on cheap lager and chant ‘we want chilly willy’ at the bartender until he calls the cops. The Simpsons can never die.
