Marijuana Simpson
"What if Homer Simpson smoked weed? It's not that crazy to imagine."
In the summer of 2014, a bizarre work of fiction was being written on Twitter. It was a story, published 140 characters at a time, in the form of a screenplay.
It depicted an alternate version of the Simpson family and Springfield, where most of its inhabitants are weed-loving stoners. There is a second Simpson son named Ken. Bart is sent to Iraq to fight a war. The bonds within the family, and Springfield in general, are getting torn apart by addiction.
The posts have since disappeared, but the tragic story -with themes such as addiction, war, family, imperialism, capitalism, and stoner culture- still survives through screenplay documents compiled from the mysterious account.

Almost a decade later, this remains the greatest work of internet-published literature yet written.
Its anonymous authors had never seen an episode of The Simpsons, but as American civil society crumbles around us, the searing cultural-political analysis and contempt for stoner culture of Marijuana Simpson seem to have aged almost as well the show itself.

Probably the best play I've ever read. If you're a fan of surreal humour, I recommend this highly. There's something strangely compelling about a political drama about the War on Terror that's also about the Simpson family smoking weed. Just finished it a second time and it holds up.

The melancholy tone, the clumsy politics, the encyclopedic obsession with weed culture in contrast to the careless treatment of Simpsons canon, and the constraints of Twitter as a format combine to make this a landmark piece of internet culture. Extremely funny in a way that still catches me off-balance over and over again after four or five reads.

This is what (the American) dreams are made of.
