- racer108, on 10/11/2007, -5/+27Life sized? Homer's not four feet tall.
- UnFriendlyFire, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18College Kids Who Got Caught: "D'oh!"
Cops Who Caught them: "That's what they all say, they all say D'oh." - xcleetusx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14The've embiggened us all with their cromulent performance.
- 10001110101, on 10/11/2007, -5/+16At least they didn't cut the head off it. That would have only lead to a public confession - preceded by them being chased by a mob.
edit: digg down, I somehow missed Anrkist's comment. - lordsteve, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9"Life sized? Homer's not four feet tall."
The statue was also in a sitting position, if I understand the article correctly. - TJacques, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9D'OH!
- xcleetusx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7The note should have said "El Barto"
- DiscoLando, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Jebediah would be proud.
- ophilye, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Dugg down for mis-quoting:
"Bake 'em away, Toys." - mooninite, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Silly customer... a statue is not a sprinkle.
anyway... what's with Malaysia getting to see the movie a full day ahead of us (USA) about?? - jsully, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it!
- SillyRabbits, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4It's just nice to see the police taking it as a joke and seeing the humor....like it should be. A lot of places would have treated it as a serious felony and thrown them in jail without bail with a list of a dozen different charges. This is one of those cases were a gentle "slap on the wrist" is more appropriate.
- ophilye, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Worst Comment Ever.
- avktm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4i wanted to do this, to the awesome sliver surfer statue they had at my local theater
- hmmmok, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4When will the super team use their powers for spell checking ?

- Markpdotcom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Cos their animators created it? ;)
- nickerbocker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It is in the sitting position. I saw one of these displays in a theatre and had to get a picture of myself on the couch with them.
- Julez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It has. Bart is currently missing from the Santa Cruz cinema, there was even left a note saying that "Bart was here" in the place the statue should have been.
- themoose, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Probably time zone differences.
- hartley, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Seriously, stealing a statue in flip-flops? Wear some shoes!
I guess that's how they knew it was 2 college students. - Zbrah, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3BAHAHAHAHA...awesome....
- modifiedbears, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2i would've taken it too
- mccarron, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Most of the cinema employees have dibs on that stuff before they are "thrown out."
I think my theatre's (in Chicago suburbs) Simspons figures were stolen the week they came out, because I haven't seen them there. Just an empty bench. - leland1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I believe that the Malaysian police knew they had the right suspects when they found bits of "frosted donuts with sprinkles" and "chocolate-covered bacon" around the parking space of the getaway car. : )
- MiDri, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Ya we are devising a way to get that silver surfer out of one of the cinemas here... The board is going be a problem... hum... plus it is in the middle of the theater...
- Boofster, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2LOL ywah I wanted to do this also. They have the whole life size family at every theater around here. Would be great to just pick them up when the movie is over with and they're throwing them out.
There's also a nice Silver Surfer statue. - notbob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Sounds like some kind of publicity stunt.
- classoon, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Haha, we have one of those at the theater where I work! First, the candy box in his arm was stolen, then his entire arm fell off, haha.
- t0ken, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yeah- it looks like the arm either fell or walked off at my local theater—I can't help but think that someone has a Homer Simpson arm mounted proudly atop their mantle...
- MiDri, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Same here, creepy! Tulsa anyone?
- rushintoad, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Alright super-team! Lets use our powers of diggin to give FOX some free pubilcity!
- rshotl, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Wasn't there an article on Yahoo a few days ago talking about how the movie had no internet/news buzz and the studio was worried? I bet you they are happy this happened and welcome further Homer Simpson statue thefts as long as it gets picked up by the media....
- Hewbie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2damn movie P.R. stunts :/
- TehSwat, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5Take em away, toys.
- praveenmarkandu, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2***** malaysia. i wish i wasnt going back in 5 days time
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Perhaps they had ingested the merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenango! Grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum, and were merely on a spiritual, hallucinogenic journey, guided by the voices of the spirits of Carlos Castañeda and Johnny Cash?
- livevil, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1At least he initiated the idea, don't abuse the thumbs down button.
- Jonsey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I was mad, until I realized...
- fliped, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1yeah i went to watch a movie at the Scotia Bank Theatre (formerly known as Paramount) in Montreal and I noticed that the Homer statue was also missing his arm
- celkin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@midri
I live in Tulsa and never heard of it. - jamesmcq24, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1hehe i could definitely see myself doing that
- ch3zyp00fs, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Lisa needs braces.
- archer104, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0*College Kids steal cops gun*
Cop: "Haha sucker! There's no bullets in that gun!" (pulls out box of bullets and shakes them)
College Kid: (points gun at Cop)"Yo! Give me the bullets!"
Cop: "Alright, don't shoot! - archer104, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Homer: Stealing! How could you? Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain what's-his-name? We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well I didn't hear anybody laughing, did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects... (does sounds effects) Where was I? Oh yeah, stay out of my booze!
