Going viral the old fashioned way

A photo gets Homer into trouble with Marge.

This is one of those episodes where the Simpsons address issues that are in more relevant now that ever.

I remember a time when you could enjoy a night out without worrying about cameraphones, CCTV's or social media. If this was remade as a modern story you would have somebody catching Homer in that same compromised with a phone and then it would be Facebook-bound for all to see.

It is a solid story with a good message and a number of funny situations, but not a classic. It does however (accidentally or not) foreshadow the wave of awareness, particularly in relation to sexism and objectification that has very much prominent, socially over the past few years.

For me it's a 7.5/10, but I round upwards.
