Has anyone seen Ted Kennedy's "Simpsons / Springfield" tv ad?

[mdmc]

I heard that the Simpsons is having an ad contest to see which "Springfield USA" will premiere the Simpsons movie later this summer.

Springfield, MN didn't participate. Springfield, MA had Senator Ted Kennedy do a cameo on their ad. Has anyone seen this ad? :kick:

"Um,er, ah. Welcome to Springfeld. I mean Springfield!"

Kentucky's "Simpsons" film, which debuts on the web this week, is sure to have stiff competition from other state entries.

Illinois' Springfield has a power plant run by a man who looks a lot like Mr. Burns, Homer's boss; Vermont's video short features a giant, rolling donut; and Massachusetts' has a cameo from Sen. Ted Kennedy, whose Bostonian accent mirrors the Simpsons' Mayor Fred Quimby.

Viewers can vote for their favorite Springfield at USA Today's web site beginning Thursday, and online voting is tallied through July 9.

The rest of the Springfields are in Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, New Jersey, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Colorado and Louisiana.

In Maine, Springfield didn't get involved in the contest. "We don't have a place to show a movie anyway. We're too small," said Kay Thompson, treasurer and tax collector. She says the Penobscot County town's population is about 375.
