that very same episode makes fun of americans (for example, the gate says "made with pride in the usa" but it breaks)
they've done it to canada too and i found it hilarious.

Christ. What kind of a stupid question is that?
nothing is holy on the simpsons, thats the beauty of it, but satires of cliches, and not even well grounded ones isn't going to be funny to the people who don't get the cliches (us, because they're based on movies we make like crocodile dundee), im sure it was a laugh a minute to anyone that thinks we drink fosters and live in the bush.
It's not about not taking the jokes on the chin with a good lampooning, we love taking the piss out of ourselves, it's just that if the simpsons made their jokes actually based on our culture the main american audience wouldn't get it, so they have to rely on the funny fictional cliches to get the most laughs.
