Under the foreign exchange student program, Adil was sent to live with the Simpsons for three months while [[Bart]] was sent to [[France]]. Adil got along well with everyone in the family, especially [[Homer]], and was kind and polite to everyone. Homer, touched that Adil was so interested in his work (completely unlike his own kids), took a shine to him and showed him all over [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]]. Adil, for his part, took plenty of pictures and asked Homer lots of technical questions about the plant.

It was later discovered, however, that Adil was a spy.

Adil was caught by the FBI when they raided the neighborhood. Instead of being punished, Adil was deported back to Albania and exchanged for an American child spy who had been caught in Albania. In spite of Adil's being a spy, the Simpsons were all sad to see him go.

Adil was later seen on a boat full of immigrants sailing into [[New York City]]. Bart, from inside the Statue of Liberty, hollered at them that the country was full, and the boat turned away and headed for [[Canada]]. It is likely, therefore, that Adil ended up in Canada.

Mr. Sparkle (product).png

Mr. Sparkle is a Japanese brand of dish washing and laundry detergent. It is a joint venture between Matsumura Fishworks and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern.

While at the Springfield City Dump, Bart found a box of Mr. Sparkle detergent. He called over Homer and Lisa to look at the box, and they were all shocked that it had a picture of Homer on the front. Homer took the box to Akira at The Happy Sumo, who told Homer that it was Mr. Sparkle, and was surprised to find that the mascot looked like Homer. Homer later called the Mr. Sparkle Factory in Japan to ask why they were using his likeness on the box. He later received a videotape for American investors with a commercial for Mr. Sparkle included. The end of the commercial revealed the truth behind Mr. Sparkle: it was a merger of the companies Matsumura Fishworks, which had a fish logo, and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern, which had a lightbulb logo. The two logos together made Mr. Sparkle, meaning the resemblance to Homer was a coincidence...
