That's really weird because I just happened to tape tonight's episode for
a friend and I just checked the tape and it definatly says BUTT.COM.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I live in Canada (and they
think I'm slow, eh?). How did everyone else see the episode? Did we get
a different version up here or was the BUTT.BUTT report wrong?

***** Where's the list of "second episodes"? *****
For those of you who ask "where's the 'second national run'
syndication schedule?", there is no more "second national run";
any station that shows a second (or more) syndicated episode
each night pays the syndicators for the rights (well, for the
rights to show its own commercials rather than the ones the
syndicators give them), which includes the rights to show
whatever episodes they want. You have to ask the local station
which episodes it is showing; some stations list their
syndicated episodes in "TV Guide".


FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THOUGHT "I'VE SEEN THIS EPISODE BEFORE":
The blackboard opening said "BUTT.BUTT" IS NOT MY E-MAIL ADDRESS -
but when it was first shown, it was "BUTT.COM"; apparently, somebody
figured out that butt.com is an actual web site

Maybe Fox is getting us used to a lot of reruns so they can make fewer
episodes next year and have time to start making a Simpsons movie?

So are there syndication cuts on Canadian stations?

But it is definitely not somebody's e-mail address. It can't be. It's
stupid and pointless to change it.

BTW, were the writers so stupid that they thought butt.com is the right
format for an e-mail address?

Until some net-savvy fourteen-year-old (and let's face it, that's just about
all of them) realizes it is a valid Web address, and tries it. My guess is
that Fox got more than a few calls from irate parents, and changed the
address.

A real address, like "ba...@butt.com", might have been too long or clunky-
looking. (They really don't have a lot of space for those blackboard gags).
You could explain it by saying =Bart's= doesn't know the valid e-mail
address format.

Thanks for acknowledging that fourteen-year-olds are not complete morons :)
Of course, I'm sure they didn't need the Simpsons to cause them to seek out
pornography.
