Sypnosis
In order to get back at his dad, Bart goes undercover as a graffiti street artist and plasters Homer's unflattering image all over Springfield. But one night, Bart and Milhouse get caught in the act by established street artists Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Kenny Scharf and Robbie Conal (guest voicing as themselves), and to Bart's surprise, they invite him to exhibit his satirical artwork in his very own gallery show. Meanwhile, a hip, new health food superstore opens in Springfield that threatens to put Apu and the Kwik-E-Mart out of business.
Plot
Lisa attempts to wake up Homer, and after the fire alarm fails she opens a can of Duff, instantly waking him up. Lisa tells him Marge's birthday is the next day (March 19), and that he needs to start going around town looking for a good and not insulting present. Homer announces that he's already bought a present, which shocks Lisa. He also adds he put some thought into it, shocking Lisa even more. He reveals it as a state-of-the-art food masher-mupper, named Puree-Station 3. Lisa says Marge is going to love it, but Homer says it will make love seem like chewing mere tin-foil, because today he's getting it autographed. Lisa guesses by Lenny, but instead by "the box lady herself". Lisa is so amazed she almost faints.
The family go to Swapper Jack's, so Homer can get the present signed. Homer, Bart and Lisa find the shop great, with a clear premise, like Hawaii but without the murderous locals, and unusual jelly. Homer thinks the family won't be shopping at the Kwik-E-Mart any more, then Apu appears behind a cheese stand. Homer is surpised to see Apu out of his "natural habitat". He says he is finding out who is real customers are, and who is going to cheat on him. Many residents, including Lisa, Sideshow Mel and Nelson, complain about the products, but he answers that he's always considered them his friends, and friends do not betray friends. Homer protests, and Apu and Homer get into a fight with cheese sticks. Apu is nearly victorious, but is restrained by two employees. Homer gets his masher-mupper signed, and Paula suggests calling Marge live from her show tommorrow, and wish her a happy birthday.
At home, Marge's presents are an apron with a sarnet from Lisa, a bunny from Bart,
