** Homer's poor choice of a college application photo unsurprisingly keeps admissions officials from even reading his application. Nowadays, thanks to [[TechnologyMarchesOn greater speed in sending and processing]] applications (to say nothing of a larger pool of applicants), the officials [[ValuesResonance come off as even more justified]] in their decision.
