OHHHHH, SO ITS NOT SPRINGFIELD, OREGON

TvGuide.com is exclusively reporting that The Simpsons are NOT from Portland, Oregon despite everyone getting into a media frenzy about it the other day. Says the article:

The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean also tells TV Guide Magazine that it was one big misunderstanding — which was then repeated on virtually every news program and in every newspaper in the country. “They misinterpreted something I’ve heard him say for at least 10 or 20 years,” Jean says. “He was inspired by growing up in Portland, but it’s really an every town. It’s really funny. Matt grew up in Oregon and parts of The Simpsons were definitely inspired by his childhood. But there is no specific state that Springfield is in, and we will never reveal that secret… except this coming Sunday at 8,” he quips.

So, I guess the question is, what the fuck’s going on? Any ideas?? Sound off below because I don’t get it…
