Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge

Synopsis

Template:Spoiler During a scorching heatwave, Homer plugs in a singing/dancing Santa to try and make the family feel cooler. This action causes the whole of Springfield to experience a blackout, as the Nuclear Power Plant is unable to cope with so many appliances demanding power at once. Lenny and Carl spark off a massive looting spree after crashing their cars into each other - then a store window - whilst talking to each other on their cell-phones.
