Homer's family secret is out
The creator of popular TV cartoon The Simpsons today shocked fans by claiming the family's father Homer is in fact Canadian.
Matt Groening has revealed that his father, on whom the tubby beer-lover is based - is from Winnipeg.
The loveable ne'er-do-well has always been seen as the stereotypical American dad. "I hope Canadians won't hold it against the show now that they know," Groening said.
"We were counting on Canadians feeling superior to the Simpsons as being doltish Americans but now the secret is out."

What about the HIGHLY ironic joke about Canadians dodging foreign wars? Then again, Americans don't understand irony, so it was no surprise they didn't realise how stupid they are to say that

If I was the bases for Homer Simpsons I would be a very happy guy. Meh I even would be happy being the bases for Cartman from South Park.
Hmm maybe this explains some of the Canadian jokes and The Simpsons recent trip to Canada. I also saw they had a live show there recently, this might be where Matt gave out the news.
On a kind of different subject, did anyone go to The Simpsons Mania tour a few years ago?

And vise-versa..... I know a lot of fat people! :D
But I wonder what his dad thinks about having Homer Simpson based on him??
Surely he'd be against it!??
Or maybe he sees it as some kind of joke...
Nah, if he is like Homer, then he's probably to slow to realise! ;D
