They kind of did that with the Fox ticker at the bottom, and the product placement of Duff beer (product-placing a product that doesn't actually exist). Maybe this goes with what you said about the irony just reinforcing what it's making fun of. :) I agree with you about certain parts of the movie, but I thought some of the theatrical camera tricks were done with irony, to make fun of the fact that this is a movie.

After 9+ years, I find The Simpsons doing more to reinforce and perpetuate the conservative beliefs they try to make fun of, than to offer any new perspective on our American ideology.

Damn, dude, that was harsh.
