Brown rules out Simpsons TV appearance
LONDON (AFP) — Prime Minister Gordon Brown ruled out Wednesday making a cameo appearance in the hit US television cartoon series "The Simpsons".
Brown's predecessor Tony Blair voiced a yellow cartoon version of himself in a 2003 episode of the show entitled "The Regina Monologues".
But Brown vowed there would be no repeat.
"I think Tony Blair did that, I don't think that is for me," he told GMTV television, insisting he would also not appear on music talent contest or ballroom dancing shows.
In "The Regina Monologues", the Simpson family travelled to London and were greeted by Blair, though dim-witted dad Homer Simpson mistook him for the fictional bumbling eccentric Mr Bean.
