I cannot believe 'The Simpsons' have even held a tight second against our beloved 'Avatar' in the 'TV.com Best of 2006' competition! The superior animation and storyline alone should have impaled 'The Simpsons' long ago. I mean is it just me or is comparing 'Avatar' to 'The Simpletons' like comparing a top-of-the-line corvette to an avocado-green pinto? Or better yet comparing a crust of bread and a glass of water to a super deluxe Chinese mega-buffet? Give me a frickin' break. Let's face it, 'The Simps' are just not fit to even cast their eye in the general direction of 'Avatar.' What's more our forums are apparently populated entirely differently from one another. I walk into the 'Simpletons' forum and feel as if I have entered a parallel universe--a universe in which my IQ is mandatorily dropped by 50 points as soon as walk in the door. And thus I have compiled the following list: TOP 10 REASONS WHY 'AVATAR' RULES OVER 'THE SIMPSONS' 1. Come talk to us when your little chat forum has nearly 300 pages of threads like the Avatar forum, Simps! 2. The mutt-dog, 'Santa's Little Helper' VS. Appa, a 10-ton flying bison with airbending abilities. You figure it out. 3. We got Toph. ('nuff said on that one) 4. The Avatar forum editor has nearly 4,000 TV.com points with Level 35 status. Ummm, yeah. 5. Your most posted on thread is ironically entitled: Make a Stupid Question and Get a even more ridiculosy quiet stupid Simpson Q&A 6. Our forum topics have included everything from in depth discussions about literary archetypes found in Avatar to martial arts, science, physics and comparisons between Avatar and other classic epic storytelling icons such as 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Star Wars.' Your topics range from such in depth discussions as Bart or Lisa?, Simpsons/Family Guy Debate and my personal favorite, Whats up with Lenny...? 7. Who's the better bad*&# dynamic duo: Mr. Burns and Smithers or Fire Lord Ozai and Azula? 8. The most complex 'Simps' character is a saxaphone-playing over-achiever named Lisa Simpson. The most complex character in the Avatar world has a father hell-bent on taking over the four nations and a mother who mysteriously disappears when he is still just a little boy. He is able to generate fire from his hands and feet without being burned and is a superior warrior and skilled broadswordsman. He has a scar across his left eye and his name is Prince Zuko, son of Ozai and Ursa and heir to the Fire Nation throne. 9. Skateboarding or bareback Elephant Koi riding? People please. 10. Aang will never find himself repetitively writing 'I will not burn others through careless firebending ever again' 10,000 times on a chalkboard. He learns his lessons the first time.
LONG LIVE AVATAR! HA-ZAH!
