### Tom Hanks, Government Credibility, The Simpsons

- **Published:** 2021-12-27

A clip from The Simpsons Movie featuring Tom Hanks is used to illustrate the government's loss of credibility. In the clip, Hanks "borrows" his personal credibility to the U.S. government to promote a new Grand Canyon. The segment suggests that modern celebrity endorsements of government policy are reaching a similar level of absurdity.
