Meh
For some reason I don't consider this to be a big deal. Am I in the minority here?

Who the hell is "Hasse"? :P

Already heard about this, actually. Now I sit back and wonder how Ohio, Nevada, Maine, and Kentucky border Oregon.

...It's not in Oregon. He just said he named it in honor of Springfield, Oregon.

Springfield was named after Springfield, Oregon. The only reason is that when I was a kid, the TV show “Father Knows Best” took place in the town of Springfield, and I was thrilled because I imagined that it was the town next to Portland, my hometown. When I grew up, I realized it was just a fictitious name. I also figured out that Springfield was one of the most common names for a city in the U.S. In anticipation of the success of the show, I thought, “This will be cool; everyone will think it’s their Springfield.” And they do.

It's a fictional town, it's not located anywhere. :P

I'd already read the interview.

Don't say that! You'll ruin the magic of guessing where Springfield is located. :P

Too bad that all signs point to it not actually being in a real state since so much of the "evidence" contradicts itself.

It doesn't interest me, I am not the biggest Simpson fan. It is still a good show though.
