"We called their bluff because we didn't think Rupert Murdoch would pay for Fox to sue itself. So, we got away with it."

Hey Tash,

Good to have you back. Hilarious article. I almost sued myself once as well. My lawyer seemed to think I had a good case, but in the end I settled out of court.

DESANGRO

Why were they going to sue the Simpsons' creator? That's just plain silly.

Mad TV makes fun of conservative news and Bill O'Reilly all the time and they haven't gotten sued. (Not that I know of, anyway.) Anyhow, this IS disturbing: is Fox going funny in the collective head? Do men in white suits with butterfly nets and strait jackets need to be called up to the execs' ofices?
