Apparently Morrissey was approached to appear, if that's the right word, in the recently aired episode where the Simpson family come to England! You know the one with Tony Blair? In an interview in the Independent newspaper one of the writers said they tried to persuade Morrissey or David Bowie to be in it. Both obviously declined but Bowie may appear in a future episode. Morrissey presumably won't!

does anyone know why this show is still on the air?
no, i mean legitimate reasons other than money and an empty spot on the network lineup. this show hasn't been that funny in over 5 years! yet, it persists like a pustule.
ok, compare this one to their trip to the episode where they went to Australia. that wasn't their greatest episode, yet give me that one any day of the week.

The Simpsons specializes in ridicule.. (albeit lightly done)
So it's completely unsurprising that he didn't want to feature in it.
Bowie, on the other hand, loves having the piss taken out of him.
On another note i think some of the cameos in The Simpsons have been very good.
My favourite was John Waters.

Simply because he's everything here, and has inspired some famous bands, doesn't mean that he's large enough to appear in the Simpsons. The Simpsons are a household name, as are most of their guest stars. Morrissey is not.
Anyway, even if this is a true piece of information, I don't think he'd want to be animated dancing and singing behind the likes of Tony Blair, and I thank god for that.

The Simpsons desperately attepts to be funny ...and fails miserably. The show has become its own joke as they are now mocking themselves, which, exposes it's weakness.
If it weren't for the hundreds of animators who would be out of a job, The Simpsons should've ended before the 13th season.
Worse, as Duarte's #2 Simpsons fan (#1 is one John Navarro) since the first bleeding episode, it pains me to say all this, but it doesn't pain me as much as watching a bloody episode.
Kudos Mr. Morrissey.
Kudos for not turning away that dump-truck full of money/quid parked in front of your house...

Oh well. Good thing that the creators of Jimmy Neutron didn't ask for his permission then.
