'The Simpsons': Steve Jobs Pees on Your iPhone

I could almost use Peter Kafka's lede at AllThingsD on this item, as I don't watch The Simpsons on a regular basis, either. (Actually, I use Hulu to catch up with episodes I've missed, as I suspect more and more people are doing.)
In any event, the iconic animated show finally took on the modern cult of Mac in its Sunday episode, although the writers obviously feared Apple's legal team. In the show, "Apple" is renamed "Mapple," led by the iconic "Steve Mobs". iPhones are named "MyPhones," and -- well, just watch the clip that Kafka helpfully provided.
