The SIMPSONS finally have a town they call home. (Sorta.). There's been a contest online between 14 different real life Springfields, USA on who will host the premiere of the movie. We have a winner. Springfield, Vermont (population of 9.500) won the prize by having an ideal setting for the movie complete with a nearby Nuclear power plant. They also got together and created a video of a Homer look a like chasing a big pink doughnut through the middle of their town square.

Thanks to scooper Daforce for the tip.

I'll look for it, perono. I haven't seen it linked though...

Sorry bout that, almost. I noticed it too when I reread it..That and of course the word "pink" was "ping". I was a bit busy last hour when I published it. Fixed.

Damn, I live right near Springfield NJ and was hoping they would do it there. Well, at least in Vermont they will have plenty of Shrooms, Hemp, Hippes, Syrup, Gay Marriges, Ben & Jerry's and a slight stench of paturli in the air to keep the Hollywood set happy. Groovy

First I've heard about a town being glad to have a nuke plant in their backyard...
Kudos to Springfield, VT!

Being a Pacific Northwestener, I was hoping Springfield, OR, was going to win. Oh well, at least we got a Kwik-E-Mart!!
