I assume you are referring to the animated series as opposed to the Live Action movies (of course you are, the live action movies aren’t for another 65). Not really, although Adult Swim has recut old Simpsons episodes added new dialogue, renamed it Simpsons 2121 and is showing it on Adult Swim > [@](#): > > Am I more appreciated in death than now?

> [@Drunky\_Smurf](#): > > Because of my current awesomeness how many 300 ft. statues are there of me around the galaxy?\* > \*I assume we as humans would have achieved FTL travel by at most 2014. There are no statues of anyone I am afraid after the incident with you-know-who mentioned earlier in the thread. I will say that we didn’t fully realize what a scourge statues were until we finally rid ourselves of them. As to Faster than Light travel, no not even by 2112, although we are close to Faster than Lite travel which is a third less faster than (hypothetical) Light travel. ---

Aaaawww. ☹ What’s the point of being awesome if you don’t get to have a statue? I guess I’ll go back to being a nobody couch potato. ---
