Reading this again and Slumpy's comment, I need to ask if it was necessary to advertise the movie at all let alone by doing this ?

My understanding of the audience for the Simpsons is that this movie is so incredibly popular, more perhaps than even all hill figures put together, is this addition taunting (more serious and therefore less popular) historic culture ?

Perhaps confronting rather than taunting ?

It's an assumption the Giant represented a "more serious" culture. Of course, wanting to conserve ancient remains is more serious than wanting to go see a Simpsons movie, but that doesn't mean Homer has nothing in common with the origins of the Giant.
