Speaking of the Simpsons

Does anyone remember this?

My say is, if Springfield, Illinois was good enough for this international contest sponsored by Fox, it certainly should be good enough for a puny little domestic movie premiere? Am I right?

And check out this quote from the contest's organizer at Fox UK:

When arranging the contest prize, Meadows said, choosing between the 33 cities called Springfield in the United States posed a problem.

"I looked at a few Springfields, two in particular - the one in Illinois and the one in Massachusetts," she said. "There was more sort of opportunity in Illinois because of the doughnut factory and the high school."

Seriously, though. How cool is it that the contest landed two guys here in the Land of Lincoln to do a Simpsons tour. And I'm curious about what type of beer they gave these guys with the "Duff" name. Springfield needs to seen a local brewery pop up. I'm sure people here would embrace the stuff just like Homer hugs his Duff.
