TomTom, a company that makes portable GPS devices for cars, has previously offered celebrity voices like John Cleese and Kitt from “Knight Rider” for its direction-giving product.  Up next: notable bad driver Homer Simpson.  From the NY Post:

Homer Simpson [is now] available on its navigator as a download. Homer gives directions and says things like: “Woohoo! You have reached your destination and you can hold your head up high because you are a genius.”

I think I’d prefer it if Homer’s voice hindered you from getting to where you want to go.  I’d rather he encouraged road rage and distracted people from the task of driving.  Like, he should say things like “Stupid SUV drivers… I hate them so much.“  Or he could just sing a song that alerts you when you’re about to hit a chestnut tree.

Dammit, this always happens when I write about “The Simpsons.”  I focus on making a reference instead of an actual joke.  Eh, whatever.  If you don’t get the reference we probably can’t be friends anyway.
