For some reason, this made my day.
UPDATE: YouTube is down, hence the blank space above. Give it some time, I promise it’s worth it.

They removed the clip due to copyright infringement, but here’s the text description of it (hooray Simpsons archive!):
Homer marks off his first alcohol-free day (“One down, 29 to go”)
and watches a little TV. Unfortunately, it’s one of the omnipresent
Duff ads. This one features a group of women leading an anti-sexism
protest. A pair of beer delivery men look on, bemused.
Women: Down with sexism! Down with sexism!
Man 1: Look at all those feminists.
Man 2: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
[they both reach for bottles of beer, shake them up, and
spray the foam on the protesters. This magically turns
them into bikini-clad party animals. (Kids, don't try that
at home.)]
Both Men: Yeah! Yes! All right!
aw dude…that sucks. that clip was great.
What the description above leaves out is that the women are initially seen holding signs with things like “Equal Rights Now” on them, which transform into “I’m easy” and “Get me drunk” at about the same time the bikinis appear.
Ahh…The Simpsons might be old and worn out these days, but they make some bloody hilarious satire (fine, Americans CAN do satire).
