Whoa L.N.! You have to learn to lighten up! The sarcasm light is on with the Simpsons. You are imputing seriousness where there is none. If you can’t laugh at yourself then you are taking yourself and others way too seriously.
I knew this was coming.
Every time I object to the content of entertainment that most people don't find objectionable (The Sopranos, Scarface, Lolita, The Godfather movies, South Park, Family Guy, Howard Stern, etc.) somebody suggests that I either don't have a sense of humor, ought to "lighten up," or "get laid." It's tiresome, and more importantly, it's arrogant. I didn't tell anybody that they should be offended, I simply outlined the reasons why I am.
Now, regarding The Simpsons: Matt Groening doesn't like conservatives and promotes the homosexual agenda. I knew that before he had conceived of The Simpsons. The targets of the sarcasm and satire are either people I agree with or issues I believe are important 95% of the time.
It's not even close to balanced. Sure, there are the slaps at Kennedy or Clinton for being horndogs -- that's easy. But when Sideshow Bob says schtuff about Republicans wanting to kill children or that they want "a leader that will rule you like a king," there will be no similar references about leftists' fetish for collectivism, and its well-known but rarely-spoken dangers. And don't think the kids don't pick up on the leftist bias of Simpsons writing.
You might as well scold me for not watching CNN.
