% Krusty is at Krustylu Studios, announcing his quitting show business.
% While explaining why comedy isn't funny anymore, he pokes fun at Jay Leno
% and other comedians, he has the press audience in hysterics without
% realizing it. Krusty realises he's telling the truth -- and it's funny!

Krusty: So I'm watching TV today..

Homer: Woo! TV, yeah!

Krusty: And all I keep seeing is dead celebrities hawking products! You've got poor old Vincent Price floating around in a toilet keg telling me about the of an unfresh bowl!


% Krusty also pokes fun at an ad with Winston Churchill.

Impeach Churchill!


% Krusty makes a stand, and burns a dollar which those fatcats won't get their
% grave robbing hands on. He has the round at his control, and they all start
% to burn money. Marge gives Lisa some money to go and bury in the yard.

% In the back, two execs are watching in amazement.

Exec 1: Wow.. they're hanging on his every word! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Exec 2: I hope so.. [puts his hand on Exec 1's]

Exec 1: I I made myself clear in Boston.


% On the ride home..

Homer: Heh heh heh, from now on, I'm gonna be just like Krusty and tell it like it is.

% The two execs approach Krusty and Jay.

Exec 1: Excuse me, Krusty, we've been watching you at Moes all week.

Exec 2: And your credibility is just.. wow.

Krusty: Get to the point, Armoni!

Exec 2: Well, we think you'd be the perfect spokesman for our company's new sports utility vehicle, the Canyonero!

[Krusty grabs them both by the collar]

Krusty: I guess you Wall Street weasels didn't get the word -- Krusty's not for sale!

Exec 1: But you endorse everything! In fact, this endorsement contract comes from your line of legal forms!

Krusty: [takes a look] That's a quality form.. but those days are behind me! I don't shill for nobody no more!

Exec 1: Are you sure? We're prepared to offer you a free fully loaded Canyonero!

[a beautiful red Canyonero sparkles in the light outside. Krusty's tied back hair pops out to the way it was in the days of "The Krusty the Klown Show]

Krusty: [Krusty makes lusty noises, but looks at his comedy friends, who look sad.] No! Take your corporate blood wagon and get the hell out! [ties hair back, and pushes them out.]

Exec 1: Are you sure? It's free!

Krusty: [hair pops back out] Stop saying that!

% He sold out.

I'm tellin' ya, the Canyonero is the Cadillac of automobiles!


% The crowd doesn't like this one bit, and boos him, throws stuff at him,

Wait, where are you all going! I've still got plenty of beefs! Fat-free yogurt.. the quality of computer porn!


Bart: I don't get it, Krusty. You said you would never be a shill again!

Krusty: Meh, I learned something about myself today. It ain't comedy that's in my blood. It's selling out.

% Krusty gives Bart a ride home, which becomes a ad for the Canyonero.

Chryslers can be hacked over the Internet

CNNMoney (New York) July 22, 2015: 12:08 PM ET


A flaw in several Chrysler models lets hackers remotely control them over the Internet, posing an unprecedented danger for American drivers.

Hackers can cut the brakes, shut down the engine, drive it off the road, or make all the electronics go haywire.

Jeep Cherokees, Chrysler 200s, Dodge Rams, and several other vehicles are vulnerable to such attacks, according to research revealed Tuesday.

The core problem? A flaw in the wireless service Uconnect that connects these cars to the Sprint cellphone network.

The researchers, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, first demonstrated the hack to Wired Magazine by remotely hijacking a Jeep Cherokee driven by a news reporter.

"Right now I could do that to every [Chrysler] car in the United States on the Sprint network," Miller told CNNMoney on Tuesday.

The researchers have concluded that the vulnerable Chrysler models are those from late 2013, all of 2014 and early 2015 that are loaded with Uconnect and the full navigation displays.

But Miller said there could be other vehicles with this weakness that he isn't aware of. The researchers did not test any cars made by Ford, General Motors or others -- but only because they're a tiny team that lacks the funding to keep buying cars and the time to break into them.

Chrysler acknowledged the problem to CNNMoney on Tuesday. Chrysler said it left an unused computer communication channel open that unknowingly granted outside access to car controls. It is now offering a software upgrade that it says customers should install "at their earliest convenience."

But Chrysler didn't refer to this as a recall -- or say drivers are at risk.

"Similar to a smartphone or tablet, vehicle software can require updates for improved security protection," the company said.

Miller and Valasek said they presented their research to Chrysler last October, allowing the company develop a fix. Miller said the company had been "very kind and responsive."

Explaining the hack

Modern day cars are smartphones on wheels - and just like any computer, vulnerable to hackers. As CNNMoney has investigated in the past, the computers inside cars are still pretty "dumb."

In 2013, Miller and Valasek demonstrated how they could hack a car while sitting inside it. At the time, they had to physically connect a laptop to a car's dashboard.

Wireless connectivity -- now standard in nearly every car -- has upped the risk.

In this latest experiment, Miller and Valasek used a laptop to scan for any cars on the Sprint network that also use Uconnect.

In seconds, these researchers can tap into any car's "infotainment system." They can turn off the air conditioner, blast the radio volume, and change the navigation screen.

Once inside, they can then penetrate what's supposed to be a guarded layer: the computer backbone of the car. They can control the brakes, steering wheel and accelerator.

In the past, auto suppliers and car makers have assured CNNMoney this crossover -- from infotainment to core controls -- was impossible.

Hackers disable brakes on Jeep from miles away

An online video showing two computer experts hacking into a Wi-Fi equipped Jeep has rocked the automotive world and grabbed the attention of Congress, reports CBS News correspondent Kris Van Cleave.

Cybersecurity experts Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek showed they can remotely take control of a Jeep driven by a Wired reporter, who produced the video and posted it on its website Tuesday.

"We were able to access the Jeep Cherokee over its 3G connection," Valasek said.

The two, who work as ethical hackers, were miles away using the Internet to get inside the Jeep's "info-tainment" system, which controls its radio and navigation systems.

"From there, we were able to move to a different processor that was involved in in-vehicle communication -- things like braking, steering, transmission," Valasek said.

The Wired video shows the hackers disabling the Jeep's brakes, leaving it to slide into a ditch.
