- Quotes
Ray Patterson: Oh gosh. You know, I'm not much on speeches, but it's so gratifying to... leave you wallowing in the mess you've made. You're screwed, thank you, bye.
Moe: He's right. He ain't much on speeches.
- Alternate versionsThe 200th episode "Trash of the Titans" was edited for showing on British TV. Both utterances of the word "wanker" were cut out; the first by U2's Larry Mullen removed completely, and the second by Mr Burns was overdubbed with a "D'oooooh...". The episode was released uncut on a UK video titled "The Simpsons' Greatest Hits" which got a "12" certificate because of "moderate bad language".

Featured review
All those in favour of horse whipping ...
Homer runs for a local public office.
This is a classic episode with consistently strong humour and character moments.
Homer is used brilliantly by the writers as he goes on hilarious crusade that destroys everything and everyone in his path, including himself. For me there is one excellent punchline after another both in the dialogue and visuals. The political satire is superb as ever and rings true in life, especially in the behaviour of voters in certain countries throughout the past ten years.
The writers also include one of the best pieces of social and economic satire of all time, as we see the greedy corporations plotting 'Love Day' and the gullible masses (embodied by the Simpson family) falling for it.
