mmmmmmmmm viruusssssssss..... D'Oh!

Observant fans of The Simpsons will recall that Homer Simpson's email address was given in the episode "The Dad Who Knew Too Little." The email address provided was chunkylover53@aol.com and many people who emailed it were surprised to get a personal reply supposedly from Homer himself.

The replies were actually written by Simpsons writer-producer Matt Selman who registered the email address with AOL before the episode aired. However sometime since, the email account was deleted or it was never claimed by Selman to be used as an AIM screen-name.

This past week the AIM screen-name chunkylover53 was allegedly used to spread a link to an "internet-only exclusive Simpsons episode," however it allegedly was a malicious link to a virus.
