Just Good Clean Simpson Kicks on Route 66

Now's your opportunity to vote for where you think the REAL location of Homer Simpson's Springfield is. Springfields in 14 states, two along Route 66, have sent in short videos to tell why they should be the one to host the grand premier of the new Simpson's movie which will be released July 27th. They are in Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Oregon, Colorado, Nebraska, Louisiana, Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New Jersey.

The actual location of the Simpsons' Springfield has never been revealed, and Fox Broadcasting has come up with a scheme to push the movie. You have the chance to view all 14 video submissions and vote for your favorite. I've seen Illinois, Missouri, and Tennessee, and would have to say no one is taking this seriously, but, rather, having a good time with it. Missouri and Tennessee are actually "trying" to make sure they "DON'T" get to host the premier.

Of the three, I liked Springfield, Tennessee's the best, but voted for my home state favorite, Illinois.

Voting continues until July 9th, so you'd better get out and vote soon and often, if you get to vote more than once. I will be alerting the Route 66 e-mail group and other road groups, even though I know some will vote for others.
