When [[Marge]] and [[Homer]] realized that their love life was fading, they went to [[Books! Books! And Additional Books!]] to buy a book that would help them improve things. Marge looked in the "Books on Tape" section and found ''Mr. and Mrs. Erotic American''. She told Homer, "This one's a good choice, and not too smutty. It's a book on tape by Paul Harvey, you know, that nice Midwestern man on the radio who's like a pleasant version of [[Grampa]]?" Homer's interest was piqued as soon as he saw the title, so they bought the book.

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.
