On 22 July, the San Jose Mercury-News sports section had this fun writeup on athletes who've been on "The Simpsons." Be sure to check out the related stories.
Sorry about straying off topic; I couldn't help myself. Hey, there IS a reference to the movie !!!

Reason: Movie reference
Huh? Are you talking "product placement"? Or is this more like "and now a word from our sponsers...."?
From the brief announcement we received off of the movie screen, I believe, it is it more like I.E. - "and now a word from our sponsers....", etc.
We get that on TV already, why even have it on the Movie screen? here we are enjoying the movie with our friend(s), &/or loved ones, the'll start placing ads (or something similar) on the bottom of the screen!!. GAWD!!
We really don't need anything like that!!. We would rather enjoy the movie than having to actually read something in a middle of a story on the movie screen!!.
We never had it before, why even start???
We saw the ad/info in the middle of the Simpsons movie.

Are you talking about the ad ticker? If so, this is a bit of an inside joke, as fake Fox News-style tickers have run on the tv show and Fox forbade the Matt Groening from doing it again.
That was probably the best gag in the movie, Serenity. Have you ever seen the Fox News Channel, and how it has all that ticker-tape promo hype all over the screen when it's delivering the news? The Simpsons was mocking that (the show airs on the Fox Network).
