Screw Andrew Fisher and CI Host. Homer Simpson’s taking all the fame now. In a recent episode of The Simpsons in which Homer, faced with losing his cherished blue trousers because the factory that makes them is going out of business, applies “Buy Blue Pants” to his head to create demand. In the episode when asked by Marge to define headvertising, Homer replies, “Headvetising, it provides brand awareness without relying on traditional media.” During the episode Homer also applies brand logos to his chest and arms. Thanks to the ever vigilant Bucky Turco for spotting this one.
