Since 1989, The Simpsons have been animated by
many different studios. While the character and
background layout was done by the domestic
studio, tweening and coloring was done by studios
over sea. After the 13th season, the cel
animation was switched to digital ink and paint.
The first episode to experiment with digital ink
and paint was in 1995, with Radioactive Man.
The Simpsons have affected peoples lives
throughout the 18years theyve been on the
television in many peoples homes. They have
impacted our language. Homers re-
occurring phrase, Doh, is now listed in the
Oxford English Dictionary. A columnist for the
National Review, used Groundskeeper Willies
description of the French as cheese-eating
surrender monkeys, while talking about Frances
opposition to the proposed invasion the the war
in Iraq. They have also impacted television, with
shows like Malcolm in the Middle and The Office,
both call The Simpsons a major influence and the
reason as to way they dont have a laugh track.
For recent years critics have praised the show
for the wit, realism, and intelligence.

World of Warcraft, a multi-player online
role-playing game, with over 8 million players
world wide, 2 million players live in North
America alone. The graphics are beautiful and
creative, and its incredibly fun to play. But
in the game, there is violence, alcohol-relating
references, and some sexual innuendos. Logging
off of the World of Warcraft for more then 5
hours, will restart the system. So most kids stay
addicted to it. Playing it right whenever they
get home from school, until when they go to bed.
There are kids out there who have had failing
grades and loosing some of their friends because
of this game.

Throughout these years, South Park has influenced
many people. With every episode they have an
actual point that affects the world. Whether
theyre making fun of the fact that Steve Erwin
is dead, or Michael Jackson for being white and
different, they always relate it back to how its
messing up the world. They even did an episode on
how World of Warcraft makes them all fat, and not
want to leave the house and how it affected them.
Theyve had many famous people on the show,
including Jennifer Lopez, Biggie Smalls, and
pretty soon theyll probably do an episode over
Anna Nicole Smith. South Park (next to The
Simpsons) has to be one of the best shows in the
world. They are so real with explaining
everything and show the way it really is, and
plus its hilarious. Thats what makes people
watch it, with over 10 seasons, it had to of
effect someones life.
