Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
In celebration of the upcoming 500th episode of "The Simpsons," Fox is challenging fans of the show to break a Guinness world record for continuous television warching by participating in The Simpsons Ultimate Fan Marathon Challenge.
The event begins February 8, 2011, and participants will attempt to break the current record of 86 hours, 6 minutes and 41 seconds while watching up to 500 continuous episodes of The Simpsons.
Whoever manages to watch the longest will have more than a dramatically expanded posterior to show for his or her efforts -- the winner of the competition will receive $10,500, plus a collection of Simpsons merchandise, some of which was specifically designed for the 500th episode.[1]
