I believe its episode 17 of season 14 "3 gays of the condo"


there have been a bunch of gay themed simpsons, apparently one of marges sisters was gay and had a gay marriage then there is the famous episode where homer took bart to a steel mill to make his son more manly but unfortuatly it turned out to be a gay steel mill complete with disco ball and men dancing on platforms.
"hot thhhhhhstuff coming thru" lol great line.

What's notable about this episode is the fact that the PSB let the Simpsons producers use West End girls. Apparently the PSB are notoriously difficult to get permission to use their songs (perhaps too much so). Anyway, luckily the PSB are big fans of The Simpsons, so they had no problem with the reques (or so the story goes).

Was watching Lethal Weapon 2 and saw in the credits, one of the songs present was I'm Not Scared by Eighth Wonder (written by Neil and Chris of course)

i still cant find where exactly the song was being played in the movie... :boo:

OMG!! Now i saw the credits clearly.. Patsy Kensit (with coupla nude scenes wil Mel Gibson and horrible acting) is a South African consulate member and Joss Ackland (ring a bell? :P ) is a SA diplomat (and main baddie) in the movie!!

Whoa! quite a few PSB links in this movie then :D
