In Simpsons, Matt Groening shows the stereotype of lower middle class white male in America. He reminds me of people, whom I have met in my own life.
He cheats, lies, plays with people’s emotions, uses others to reach his personal goals.The example of that would be the way Homer Simpson is constantly using his next door neighbour, Ned Flanders. When Ned bought his TV stand, Homer borrowed it from Ned, telling him it will only be temporarily, when in reality, he never gave it back to poor Ned. Another great example would be that of Homer using Homer uses medical insurance to buy a new hair tonic, and it works, consequentially he gains confidence, gets a promotion and begins to succeed at work.
