The Simpsons: The Computer Wore Menace Shoes
After Homer realizes he's missing out on the computer revolution, he buys the nicest model a fifth mortgage can buy and creates his own web page. However, when his web site fails to attract any attention, Homer begins calling himself Mr. X and becomes Springfield's number one source for dubious news and questionable scandals--which leads to Homer getting shipped to an island where those who know too much are cut off from mainstream society.
