06.18.09 HOMER SIMPSON TO VOICE GPS DEVICE

homer-driving

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.

All my life, I have searched for a car that feels a certain way. Powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball.

Flanders: “Whatcha diddely-doin’, neighbor?

Homer: “Aw, putting speed holes in my car. Makes it go faster.”

I hope that GPS works in my robot car. Probably not, since it’s an American-made robot car.

Or when you type in a taco bell he chants “where’s my burrito!” until you get there. You owe me a pm, matt.

Better reference: after a wreck it gets real quiet then says “itwas like that when I got here!”
