Simpson References Hidden at Staples

I'm filing this under Art and Culture because hiding pop cultural references in corporate URL's is an art form whose time has come.

Anyway, Aubrey Turner found this:

I was fidding around looking for a printer stand and came across something interesting on the Staples website. Take a look at the highlighted GET parameter in the URL of the search results:
    http://www.staples.com/catalog/search/Search_Sum.asp?
    PageType=2&SearchPageType=2&cromulent=
    &Keywords=printer stand&image1.x=0&image1.y=0

For more on the etymology of cromulent, try here, here, or here.

Of course, there is also a perfectly cromulent blog.
