Simpsons hits BushCo hard tonight
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 09:16 PM by NormaR
Bart accidentally moons the flag and the whole family, whole city of Springfield, are condemned as UnAmerican. They go on a Chris Matthews-like show called Butt Heads where Chris keeps asking them why they hate America.

The incidents go international, with the evening news showing Muslims praising the Simpsons and Springfield.

Media assign their staffers to over-hype the story so that the New York Post looks like the New York Times ("I can't remember which is the good one.")

Simpsons arrested for violating the Government Knows Best Act. Homer clubbed with a night stick during arrest.

Prison is full of people who "hate freedom" - Michael Moore, Bill Clinton...Elmo.

Lisa burns her ACLU card.

Bart sings "Americans are brave and loyal, hey jerks, give us all your oil."

Simpsons escape from prison Sound-of-Music style.

The Simpsons end up moving to France then want to go back to America but are afraid they will not be welcome. They end up going as illegal aliens because Homer says they are welcome.

1. Simpsons and South Park are always on top of things politically.
And they care not who they insult. I love those shows.

8. South Park sucks
I think I saw *one* funny episode and to them "political humor" is making fun of Democrats.

I find it interesting that they decided to re-play this episode now. I remember when they first aired it, omg I laughed so hard. This is my all time favorite Simpson episode.
