Critics use The Simpsons to lampoon Mexico's Slim | Reuters: "Attacks on Carlos Slim's hold on Mexico's telecoms market intensified on Monday when a secret group opposed to the world's richest man rubbished his core business in a newspaper advert called 'The Slimsons'.
Drawn in the style of U.S. cartoon sitcom 'The Simpsons', the full-page broadside against the 71-year-old tycoon ran in several of Mexico's biggest dailies, lampooning the cost, reliability and services of Slim's telephone networks.
Slim has become embroiled in a bitter feud with Mexican media moguls over his dominance of local telecommunications, which has spawned a series of attacks on his credibility on television, the Internet and now newspapers."

And sometimes I simply muse.
