Last night's episode of The Simpsons is being taken as a shout-out to the blogging community. Inspired by Lisa, everyone in town creates their own micro-newspaper -- The Homer Times, The Lenny Saver, The Barney Bugle, The Willie World News...

Homer: See Lisa, instead of one big-shot controlling all the media, now there's a thousand freaks xeroxing their worthless opinions!

Lisa: I couldn't be prouder.

It's "a decent allegory for the 'Fox News-ification' of the media," writes one blogger at Idly.org -- titling his post...

"A thousand freaks."
