Americas sweethearts, Homer and Marge Simpson, made a joint statement regarding the gossipthat began earlier this month that they would legally separateafter 27 seasons and countless quarrels.As it turns out, the rumors wereso baseless, not even Homer knew about them.
In a short, silly clip, Marge explains how the story started on CNN it was actually a Variety interview with longtimeSimpsonsproducer Al Jean and quickly went viral around the world, to which Homer responds, So thats why Apu went tsk tsk tsk when he sold me that beer at 8 a.m. It wasnt really morning, because I hadnt really gone to sleep! Cant these news media guys cover more important things like LeBrons junk?!
Despite Homers insistence that he and Marge are solid as a rock, he almost ruins everything, again, mentioning a near-affair and then getting called out for never changing Maggies diaper. But as their youngest adorably dangles from a rope above them, wielding a bow and arrow like Cupid, Homer gets down on one knee, hardly apologizes to his beloved for all his actions during the video and asks for forgiveness.

But beforeMarge can fully answer, Cupid unleashes her arrow right in Homers eye. Dont worry honey, daddy will be fine, Marge assures. No I wont! wails Homer. Ill never see again call CNN!
