cultural barometer. If you've been to Springfield and met TV's favourite dysfunctional yellow
family, you know you've really made it. And now Steve Jobs and his company Apple have been parodied

Véritable miroir des habitudes de consommation et pamphlet permanent de la
société, Les Simpson n'avaient encore jamais épinglé les produits et la
marque Apple. C'est désormais chose faite...
CULTURE - Malgré les variations de noms, on n'a aucun mal à reconnaître Apple
derrière le nom Mapple et Steve Jobs, le patron de l'entreprise, sous le nom de Steve
Mobs...
Hasard des calendriers et de l'actualité. Alors qu'aux Etats-Unis un employé d'un
hypermarché Wal-Mart a été piétiné à mort par des
milliers de clients obsédés par les soldes au moment où il ouvrait les
grilles du magasin, les télévisions américaines ont diffusé un nouvel
épisode des Simpson qui s'en prend à Apple pour dénoncer la
société de consommation (voir vidéo ci-dessous).
Les Simpsons ont proposé un épisode de (m)Apple hier aux États-Unis. Eh oui,
ils parlent aussi dApple. Steve Mob, MCube, MyPod, etc. Dans la vidéo, les Simpsons se
moquent des fans dApple. Et la blague est bien grasse - peut être pas pour les fans de
Is it TV sweeps week? Usually taunting the Apple community is a surefire way to to get a traffic
spike as the faithful rush to defend their choice of computer. (Fair disclosure: I use a Mac and
have had one since they first came out :-)
Here is a very funny episode of The Simpsons: "Mypods and Boomsticks," courtesy of Hulu (my
apologies to my non-US readers - you would need a US proxy to view the episode.)

width="1" height="1" //divpA witty meditation on the nature of film in popular culture taking in
Felix the Cat, Homer Simpson, Titanic the movie and Philip Guston, tonight helped Mark Leckey win
what is still acknowledged as the country's most important contemporary art
prize./ppBirkenhead-born Leckey, professor of film studies at Frankfurt's Städelschule, was
presented with the Turner prize and its attendant £25,000 cheque by Nick Cave at a ceremony
at Tate Britain, in London, broadcast live on Channel 4./ppFor a prize that has thrived on outraged
headlines about unmade beds and lights being turned on and off, the most controversial thing about
this year's Turner prize was its lack of controversy. The most that critics could muster was
half-hearted tut-tutting over an exhibit that featured a naked mannequin on the toilet. Many
critics complained the exhibition was too dry, too academic and, worst of all, too dull./ppIt did
not stop people coming to see it - 60,000 over the last two months - but none of the shortlisted
artists were widely known to the general public. Leckey was the only man on a list which also
included Goshka Macuga, Cathy Wilkes and Runa Islam. On top of the honour, money and party, getting
the prize will significantly raise Leckey's profile as he joins a list of previous winners that
includes names such as Chris Ofili, Damien Hirst, Rachel Whiteread and Antony Gormley./ppIf the
comment cards left by the public were anything to go by, Leckey was the people's winner. The
44-year-old, London-based artist is a magpie who rifles at will through popular culture to create
his own works. The stand-out piece for the Turner prize exhibition was Cinema-in-the-Round, which
shows the artist lecturing in a deadpan voice on the nature of the filmed image in popular culture,
referencing everything from Georg Baselitz, James Cameron and Felix the Cat to the episode of The
Simpsons when Homer goes out into the human world./ppAnother of Leckey's works in the exhibition is
Made in 'Eaven in which Leckey appears to have recreated Jeff Koons's well-known stainless steel
work Rabbit. It also appears to be in Leckey's flat./ppOf the losing artists, who will each receive
£5,000, there had been strong support for video artist Runa Islam. Among her works on display
is First Day of Spring, featuring rickshaw wallahs paid by the artist to sit and stare, something
they do with impressive ease. Another film features a woman smashing crockery in very slow motion.
And another has a motion sensor camera programmed to write out the word "cinematography" in a
workshop./ppThe outsiders were Macuga and Wilkes. Macuga had raided the Tate archives to create
works that explored the relationship between artist lovers Paul Nash and Eileen Agar. Wilkes
created a work called I Give You All My Money, made up of naked mannequins, a supermarket till, and
all manner of arranged detritus including dirty cups, horseshoes and roof tiling./ppIt was the kind
of work that would have irritated former culture minister Kim Howells, who six years ago labelled
the Turner prize "conceptual bullshit". Prince Charles agreed and wrote a congratulatory letter
praising his "refreshing common sense" adding: "[The Turner prize] has contaminated the art
establishment for so long." /ppBut there was little to get critics as worked up as they have in
previous years. The Observer's Laura Cumming complained: "This year feels bloodless, academic and
quiet." /ppCertainly there was no repeat of 2001 when Martin Creed won for a light that went on and
off, leaving critics aghast. Other memorable Turner prize exhibits include Whiteread's House - now
in Washington DC's National Gallery of Art - Tracey Emin's dishevelled, stained bed, the a
href="http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/2003/chapman.htm"Chapman Brothers' blow up dolls
and dildo sculpture Death/a, and a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2006/dec/04/turnerprize2006.turnerprize1"Tomma Abts/a
who won in 2006 for, shock, painted canvases./ppLeckey had been nominated on the basis of solo
shows in Dijon and Cologne. A statement from the Tate said judges were impressed by "the
intelligent, energetic and seductive nature of the work. With wit and originality, Leckey has found
a variety of forms to communicate his fascination with visual culture." /ppThe panel was chaired by
Tate Britain director Stephen Deuchar and included architect David Adjaye, Suzanne Cotter, curator
of Modern Art Oxford, Jennifer Higgie, editor of Frieze and Daniel Birnbaum, director of the same
academy where Leckey teaches./ppThe Tate has stressed that the winning choice was a group decision.
In a statement it said: "Both the Turner prize 2008 jury and Tate were made aware at the shortlist
meeting that Daniel Birnbaum is director of the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Kunste in
Frankfurt and that Mark Leckey is a part-time professor of film studies at the art school,
currently on sabbatical. The shortlist and the winner of the prize is decided collectively through
a series of discussions until the jury arrives at a consensus."/pdiv style="float: left;

No one is safe from satire on The Simpsons. The animated series, which just
began its 20th season, has lampooned just about every large company, celebrity and pretty much
every aspect of pop culture. Last night’s episode featured a six minute segment that
parodied Apple Inc. at the start of the show. In Episode 7 the Simpsons travel to
the Springfield Mall to discover that a giant “Mapple” Store has been erected inside.
The massive glass cube structure looks like a spitting image of the 5th Avenue Apple Store in New
York. Lisa Simpson walks inside and notes that “it’s so sterile!” and the
one-liners go from there.
The mock store is loaded with MyPods, MyPhones, a Brainiac Bar and the MyCube, a machine
“fueled by dreams and powered by imagination.” The cube glows to confirm that
it’s off. Its a very good natured jab at Cupertino and there’s something funny in it
for just about everyone. You can watch the complete episode at Fox on Demand (with
commercials), it starts at about 02:00 or download it from links under our post. Optionally the video is
also on YouTube (parts 1, 2) but it’s getting slow and probably won’t be up for long.
In the world of The Simpsons, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs is gay, lives at the bottom of the
sea, and pees on every iPhone made. Oh, sorry -- did we say Steve Jobs? We meant Steve Mobs. You
know, of Mapple.
