If you missed The Simpsons last Sunday, their special Earth-Day related episode, you missed a heavily current-events referenced episode where they touched on an array of hot-button issues and topics including: support for Comedy Central’s South Park duo Trey Parker and Matt Stone, whaling, shark fin harvesting, the disrupting of ecological balance, the myth of sharks being man-eating killers, hypocrisy in the environmental movement and a brief, but hilarious scene with Mr. Burns holding a sign that reads "Unfair to Earth Poisoners".

But the laughs really come in the first nine minutes when Homer, fed up with the high energy bill, takes the family off the grid by investing in a wind turbine for the backyard. "Yep, I Al Gore'd it pretty good,” Homer boasts when seeing the fruits of his labor / investment paying off. Watch the episode below – courtesy of Hulu.
