Taking a moment to enjoy the tentative round of applause that followed her impressive introduction, though she could somehow sense that her announcement had resulted in more enthusiastic approval from those who possessed the technology to watch the proceedings without being physically in the room, Kodos pushed one of the numerous buttons that blanketed the podium, and waved her tentacle in a dramatic fashion.

"For tonight's first roasting, we have decided to choose someone who deserves to be roasted, both figuratively and literally for all that she's done to both her family, and towards her fellow human beings. So please put your mutant limbs together, and welcome Mrs. Marge Simpson".

Clapping her tentacles together as the bound and gagged matriarch of the Simpson family was brought forward, the one eyed alien briefly consulted her vast collection of notes before beginning the proceedings.

"Now Marge, first let me just say that we want to thank you for your involuntary participation in this little roast of ours. We do apologise for gagging you, but you see, your voice is rather unpleasant to listen to, so until we allow you to speak in your defence, I'm afraid that it will have to remain".

Patting the cactus haired woman on the head, which of course did nothing to stop the frightened glare she was currently shooting at her captors, Kodos selected the first accusation at random before passing it to her brother, who hummed in approval.

"Now this seems like a good example to start off with. Depriving your family of much needed funds just because you couldn't stomach your families deceit in court. Now, Mr. Burns, despite the fact that their case against you was built on lies, you were nevertheless forced to accept that you would be paying some amount of money before Marge's conscience got the better of her. Is that correct"?

Directing the question towards the richest man in the now muttering hall, whose apparent frailty didn't prevent him from standing up with the type of rage that was only seen amongst the very wealthy when they were almost scammed, Kang nodded his head in understanding as he listened to the billionaire's rant.

"You are dam right you insidious cephalopod. Thanks to their lawyer's devilish ability to paint the most innocent man in Springfield as a common hoodlum, I was on the verge of paying out 1 million dollars to pay for the so called damage I caused to their scheming brat. I even offered to settle for half that amount, but the oafish patriarch of that poverty stricken group of parasites was influenced by his greed to reject my offer. Its only thanks to his wife's idiotic honesty that I got out of paying them anything. Surprises me that he is still with her, for if my wife ever cost me 1 million dollars, or even half that amount, I would have had her deported to the farthest leper colony, and have her spend the rest of her days counting her scabs".

Waving Mr. Burns to take his seat, and allowing the crowd a moment to mutter amongst themselves, Kang cast a side ways glance at the Simpson family before offering his own opinion.

"I believe you have a valid point Montgomery Burns. In Rigelian culture, the spouse is to respect all decisions made by the dominant partner in securing the family unit's well being, even if said actions might involve somewhat illegal activities. But I believe there are more instances where Marge has dismissed her family's comfort in favour of doing the 'proper thing'".

Giving the Rigelian equivalent of air quotes, Kang picked another card at random and began to read it with growing disbelief.

"It says here that there was another instance where her naive nature ensured that the Simpson family would have to survive on the meagre salary of Homer Simpson. Becoming an agent in the buying and selling of housing units for other humans, but lacking the moral backbone to mitigate the flaws of these dwellings in order to secure a commission. Lionel Hutz, could you expand on this for us please"?

Ensuring that his car salesman like smile was firmly in place, the shifty lawyer gleefully did as instructed.

"Not a problem. As I'm sure your all aware, certain business practises involve a slight smudging of the truth in order to ensure a steady stream of profit for said business. Nothing particularly dangerous for the client of course, but certain measures have to be taken in order to benefit the company. I took Marge under my wing, doing my best to show her how to be an effective real-estate agent, but in the end it proved to be a waste of time. For despite having successful sold one of our hard to move properties, for a bargain I might add, she decided to cancel the contract by offering further disclosure than we normally prefer. Of course the client in question was overjoyed by this news, being somewhat of a religious nut, but that eventually led to the termination of the already accepted offer, at which point we had to let her go".

Nodding his head in understanding, Kang poised another question for Hutz before motioning to sit him back down.

"And if she had used the knowledge that you had given her, would she have earned enough to improve her family's living condition"?

"Oh yeah. A successful real-estate agent makes maybe 5 times what a mid level employee does at the Nuclear Power Plant. And since her husband is a low level employee, I can honestly say that they would have been swimming in moolah if she didn't have a conscience".

Grinning in satisfaction as the crowd once again broke into mutterings, the one eyed alien chose his next selection with a degree of eagerness.

'Ahh now this one is interesting. Showing intolerance when the members of the household decide to embrace a religion that is different from the one that she practices. And then, doing her best to bribe said family members back to what she considers to be the right religious doctrine. I would have thought that American Earthlings of this day and age would know better considering their past history with religious intolerance, but perhaps I was wrong".

"But at least she's not a hypocrite Kang. For despite knowing that her family could no longer support an additional mouth to feed thanks to her husband's career change, she chose to keep the progeny instead of terminating it, though she did keep it a secret from her husband until it was time for it to be born. A choice that our people would have found easy to do thanks to our strict policies regarding population control".

Nodding his head in agreement with his sister, and having grown tired to explaining each and every detail of Marge's actions, Kang proceeded to give a clipped version of the events Marge had been responsible for.

"Lets see, neglecting your parenting duties to engage in gambling activities, almost acting on the lustful thoughts for another man, unnecessary feelings of jealousy for another woman despite your husband's continued dedication to you, threatening to withhold mating rights should he vote for someone you hate, purposefully sabotaging the political campaign of an affluent citizen during the final days of an election which seems to be a popular move amongst your species. Depriving your town of sugary treats, purposefully targeting and destroying a place of business because you disagree with its pleasure inducing abilities, favouring the happiness of one child over your more aged offspring, disowning your husband because he was enjoying a male's night out. Becoming a subservient partner despite being the intellectual superior, and…".

His eye widening in disbelief at the final crime on the list, Kang looked at the frustrated human with a look of disgust.

"Now THIS crime truly shows that you are part of an inferior race. If you were a member of the Rigellian species, you would have been executed for being this idiotically naïve".

Seeing that the crowd's curious mutterings were at their highest, and seeing that her brother was currently too outraged to announce the crime, Kodos seized the paper and announced what was on it.

"Causing your husband to be sent to prison because in a moment of guilt, you mailed an entertainment company a cheque for watching a pirated film. I believe this is your worse crime Marge Simpson. Far greater than demolishing a house of popular repute, or criticising your sibling for their romantic preferences. I believe this is sufficient enough to deny you the right to speak up in your defence. So you will remain gagged until the final event of the evening".

Pushing a button to send the now crying woman's chair back to the dimly lit line of humans, Kodos took a moment to consider which human would be the second bashing victim of the evening.

It wasn't too hard a decision.

And with a push of another button, the next character was brought forward.

…..

And I think that's enough for now XD

I confess, Marge has never been a favourite character of mine. From the nagging, to the ruining of schemes, and her hypocritical nature, I'm am proud to have bashed her.

Yes I know that there are numerous episodes where she is supportive, and the fact that I have take some things out of context to bash her, but lets face it, she's a pathetic character whose moralistic tendencies are almost as annoying as Lisa's.

Anyway, hoped you enjoyed this bashing.

The Poll I have up right now will determine the next chapter, so will start working on it next week.

REVIEWS NO FLAMES.

And til next time.
