Flanders In NYC? Okely Dokely!

Carrie Prejean wasn't the only "biblically correct" character out in New York this week, 'cause last night everyone's favorite God fearing "Simpsons" character hit the streets too ... with Harry Shearer dropping the voice of Ned Flanders outside the Spinal Tap show.

Mr. Burns Sucks in Real Life Too

Mr. Burns refuses to ride with SimpsonsThe long awaited "Simpsons Ride" will open at Universal Studios Hollywood next month - but don't expect Smithers to be its flamboyant host. In fact, a whole slew of characters won't be featured - namely Ned Flanders, Mr. Burns and his man Smithers - all voiced by Harry Shearer. Not so exxcccellent.

Early rumors had the ride's theme, allegedly called Project FISH (after Blinky, the 3-eyed toxic waste critter), focusing around Burns' power plant, but Shearer's decision not to participate changed all that. Instead, the ride will have a Krustyland theme where Homer and crew are strapped into a wacky teen-operated "thrilltacular". Hilarity ensues.

A rep for Mr. Burns, er Shearer, says the actor did not lend his voice due to scheduling and availability conflicts.
