Only Homer Simpson would take his daughter’s disillusionment with tween books and try to cash in on it. Fantasy author Neil Gaiman makes a guest appearance in this Sunday’s show to help out with Homer’s potentially lucrative literary project.

Animated Homer ‘Beer Vs. Donut’ Clock
By Andrew Liszewski
Paying tribute to the classic Kit-Cat Klock, this updated Homer Simpson version forgoes the wagging tail in favor of animated arms holding a donut in one hand, and a can of Duff in the other. His eyes move back and forth and each arm moves up and down while he contemplates the eternal question of which one he’ll eat first. Powered by 2xAA batteries the Homer clock is available from Perpetual Kid for $29.99.

EMI: The Beatles won’t be on iTunes tomorrow. Sky News: The Beatles will be on iTunes tomorrow. Take your pick.
Record label EMI, which holds the rights to the Beatles catalogue, says the band’s music will not be on iTunes starting tomorrow. (Not that that matters, of course.) It seems EMI is concerned about piracy. I wish I were joking. But then Sky News in the UK supposedly ran a story that said, yes, the Beatles will be available on iTunes starting tomorrow. Our take: chill out. After all, tomorrow is only a day away. We’ll all get the answer then.
And here’s a short clip of Homer Simpson completely no-selling George Harrison:
The end.
Attitude Chair Is Expensive And Looks Vaguely Familiar
By Chris Scott Barr
When I was a kid, I always leaned back in my chair at the dinner table (I still do this, actually). This of course always got me yelled at. Now I wonder, if I were sitting in a chair that had an extra pair of legs for support, would my parents be so upset when I leaned back? I’ll probably never know, but if you’re a youth with $500 burning a hole in your pocket, then you can pick yourself up the Attitude Chair.
Alright, I have to say it. “Simpsons did it!” This 6-legged chair was invented by one Homer J Simpson (and probably a hundred other people). What’s crazy is that Voos Furniture is trying to sell it for $500. It’s just a damn chair with two extra legs screwed! Seriously, if you buy this thing, you must have some sort of brain damage and should not be trusted with this kind of money.

Gadget translates baby’s cries into various moods
Taking a page from the Baby Translator invented by Homer Simpson’s half-brother Herb Powell, the $100 “Why Cry Baby Analyzer” attempts to help parents figure out what their wailing bundle of joy is so upset about. While not as accurate as the Baby Translator from the Simpsons (”I have soiled myself… how embarrassing”) the WCBA can apparently detect the following dispositions: hungry, bored, annoyed, sleepy, and stressed.
So does it work? Who knows? One thing’s for sure, though, only the “hungry” setting really necessitates any serious action. If I were a parent, I’d be a bit put off by a “bored” reading.
Oh, you’re bored? You sit around and consume resources all day without recontributing to the family’s economic bottom line. Shall I turn on the Teletubbies for you? High definition or standard?
Oh my, you’re annoyed? I’ll try to be more quiet when getting ready in the morning. You’ve got a long day of crapping your pants and sleeping, after all. My apologies!
