“The Simpsons” Get Political
This clip was pretty shocking when I saw it. I was kind of speechless when it aired, like “how did they get away with that”? I prefer “The Simpson’s” stay out of politics because it is such a universally loved show without controversy.
This was brave and pointed, I wonder if there will be any fallout from this. Even though some markets didn’t get the full version, we did in California and I don’t see why censorship was used in some areas.

I didn’t see anything wrong with it at all. Since when has The Simpsons ever stayed out of politics. The whole point of the show is a social satire of our world we live in. I love when it gets political because it shows how inane some of the politics in our country are.
I think it was stupid they censored that line. They shouldn’t have to censor anything.
