Wednesday

In an episode that parodies Citizen Kane, Mr. Burns tries to get his Teddy Bear from childhood back from Maggie Simpson.
He ever resorts to cutting off all beer sales to Springfield and the backlash is quick and powerful.

Go ahead, asshole: piss off beer drinking American men. This is some of the last support you have!
