Venezuela yanks ‘Simpsons’ for ‘Baywatch’
Lemme get this straight - the parents would rather that their kids watch a show containing plenty of half-naked guys and girls happily prancing about on a beach, rather than have them watch a cynical-yet-intelligent satire of everyday life displayed in cell-colored glory?
It's official - there is a conspiracy to keep us stupid.
Quote:CARACAS, Venezuela - D’oh! A Venezuelan TV channel has yanked “The Simpsons” off the air because it may be inappropriate for children. Taking its place: “Baywatch Hawaii.”
Televen TV station spokeswoman Elba Guillen said Monday that the decision to hand over the daily 11 a.m. time slot came after the National Telecommunications Commission received complaints from viewers.
“It had to be taken off,” Guillen said. “They consider it to be a series that isn’t appropriate for that time because it isn’t appropriate for children.”
