CCTV Headquarters on Simpsons

Via Shanghaiist (though, they really should change their name to Chinaist), comes an indication that the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing has entered the global, or at least American, public consciousness. The Shanghai site report that a model of the big pants - minus the burnt boot that currently sits forlornly by the impressive structure - appeared on a recent episode of The Simpsons. You can watch the full episode on Youku.
