Upstate certainly is not getting much respect these days. Last week, comedian Bert Kreischer called Albany "a dump."
Last night, Homer Simpson, took his family on a trip to Niagara Falls. In the episode titled "D'Oh Canada", Homer drove by a leaky "Niskayuna" water tower, while singing his own version of "New York, New York"...
The scene includes things like Homer and just one other person cheering for the Buffalo Bills, and the ode to upstate ends with an ode to Saratoga. You can see the entire episode on fox.com.
