Plot
Homer and Marge attend a candy convention and hire Ashley Grant, a feminist grad student to babysit Bart, Maggie and Lisa. Homer Jay Simpson is a main fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons and father of the eponymous family. Marjorie "Marge" Simpson (née Bouvier) is a Fictional character featured in the animated television series The Simpsons Feminism is a discourse that involves various movements theories, and Philosophies which are concerned with the issue of Gender difference, advocate Bartholomew J "Bart" Simpson is a character in the animated television series The Simpsons Margaret "Maggie" Simpson is a Fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons. Lisa Marie Simpson is a Fictional character in the animated Television series The Simpsons and is voiced by Yeardley Smith. At the convention, Homer outfits Marge with an oversized trenchcoat and is vigilant in smuggling out as much candy as possible in her pockets, until a gummy Venus de Milo catches his eye. A trench coat or trenchcoat is a Raincoat made of Waterproof heavy-duty Cotton drill or Poplin, Wool Gabardine A Gummi bear (sometimes spelled gummy bear) is a small rubbery-textured Confectionery, roughly two centimetres long shaped in the form of a Bear. The Aphrodite of Milos (Greek "Αφροδίτη της Μήλου" better known as the Venus de Milo is an ancient Greek statue Using Marge as a distraction and deploying a bomb made out of Pop Rocks and a soft drink, Homer is able to steal the Gummy Venus. For the music see Pop rock. Pop Rocks (referred to in the United Kingdom as Space dust) is a carbonated Candy with ingredients Soft drink is a beverage that does not contain Alcohol. Carbonated soft drinks are commonly known as soda soda pop pop, or
That night, Homer searches for the gummy Venus but is unable to find it. Marge reminds him to take Ashley home and Homer grudgingly obliges. As Ashley is exiting Homer's car he sees the gummy Venus stuck to the backside of her pants. Homer innocently grabs the candy and Ashley turns around to see Homer drooling lustily. Literature In Dante's Inferno, the first Canticle of the Divine Comedy, the lustful are punished by being continuously Misinterpreting his poor tact as a deliberate sexual advance, Ashley runs off screaming in terror while Homer gleefully eats the candy.
The next morning, an angry mob marches onto the Simpsons' lawn and claims that Homer sexually harassed Ashley. A crowd is a group of people. The crowd may have a common purpose or set of emotions such as at a political rally, at a Sports game, or during Looting Homer tries to explain his actions, but the crowd is not interested in his side of the story and continually harasses Homer. "Rock Bottom", a tabloid news show, wants to interview him about his predicament and Homer immediately agrees to be interviewed. However, the interview is heavily edited into a totally inaccurate segment where Homer is portrayed as a sexual pervert. Perversion is a concept describing those types of Human behavior that are perceived to be a serious deviation from what is considered to be orthodox or normal Things go from bad to worse as a media circus arrives at the Simpson home to provide 24 hour coverage of things such as Marge letting the cat out and the family watching TV. Lisa and Marge suggest Homer videotape himself telling his side of the story to air on a public access TV channel, but all he succeeds at accomplishing is angering an old-time bicyclist. Public-access television in the United States is a form of Citizen media, similar to Canada's community channels Australia's community television The ordinary, high wheel or penny-farthing was the first true Bicycle with which actual speed and distance could be achieved in a practical manner
However, Groundskeeper Willie also saw Homer's speech, and arrives at the Simpson home with a video tape of what happened the night Homer took Ashley home. Groundskeeper Willie is a recurring character on The Simpsons, voiced by Dan Castellaneta. The tape clearly shows that Homer was grabbing the Gummy Venus and Ashley and the media apologize for labeling Homer as a monster. Later on, the Simpson family is watching a "Rock Bottom" episode that labels Willie as a disgusting voyeur and Homer immediately declares that he is evil. Marge asks Homer if he learned anything from his experiences, to which Homer replies that he hasn't learned a thing. [3][4][1]
Production
Greg Daniels, the writer of the episode, originally pitched this episode as being more centered on Lisa and Homer's opposing ideas on feminism. Greg Daniels is an American television comedy writer producer and director Eventually, the episode became more of a satire of the media and shows like Hard Copy. Hard Copy is an American tabloid news television show that ran in syndication from 1989 to 1999 [5] David Mirkin, the show runner at the time, felt very strongly about the "tabloidization of the media" and has said that the episode is as current today as it was at the time and things have since gotten worse. David Mirkin (born September 18, 1955) is an American Feature film and Television director, Writer and producer [6] Several gags in the episode are based on what real life shows like Hard Copy would do, such as making people look to be guilty without a trial as well as a complete invasion of privacy by setting up camp outside peoples homes. [6] The talk show "Ben" reflects the writers' feeling that any person could host a talk show because all they need is a microphone and an audience. [6]
Casting
Dennis Franz was the writers' second choice for the role of Homer but the first choice pulled out. Dennis Franz (born October 28, 1944) is an Emmy - Screen Actors Guild - and Golden Globe Award -winning American Actor [6] The original actor, whose name they refused to say, was apparently "barrel chested. "[7]
