Morrissey has hit out at The Simpsons, after The Smiths were sent up in the show’s latest episode.
The episode, titled Panic On The Streets of Springfield, aired last night (April 19), and saw Lisa getting a new imaginary friend – a depressed indie singer from 1980s Britain.

While the show stopped short of getting Morrissey onboard to voice the character, they instead enlisted the services of Benedict Cumberbatch to voice him, alongside a series of 80s-inspired songs written by Flight Of The Conchords Bret McKenzie.

Hours after the episode aired, a statement on Morrissey’s Facebook page said the show had taken a “turn for the worst” in recent years.
“Surprising what a “turn for the worst“ the writing for The Simpson’s tv show has taken in recent years,” the statement said.

I guess Morrissey has never seen South Park?
your butt hurts too!
Hahahaha. Gay.
Morrisey sucks. So do The Simpsons, and it’s been that way for at least a decade. It’s nice to know that they’re mocking each other - they both deserve it.
“your butt hurts too!”
It’s funny because that was what I was going to say to you initially.
But I decided to go another way.
Seriously. You got offended because someone criticized the Simpson?
Yep....never sure what the guy will say...that I agree with or ignore.
I’ve heard of Morrissey but I’ve never actually heard her sing...🙄
I love when he accused the TSA of groping his junk:-)
who? some brit wanker has been that i’d think would be an honor to be spoofed by the boys... fehHe just got more press than he's had in 20 years precisely because he whined about it.
Maybe. I avoided that place unless I had free tickets to see the Dogs play (We had 50yd line tickets, they were Playing South Carolina, my Alma Mata) and South Carolina won. I got some dirty loooooks!
I got paid to go there a few times for work. Otherwise, I avoid it like the plague!
Morrisey couldn’t carry Robert Smith’s eye makeup. Smith defeated Mecha-Streisand.
“’Disintegration’ is the greatest album, ever!”
LOL!!!
yup...
what’s the old saying, as long as they spell my name right.
Joe Jackson, a long time ago, wrote a song called, “Everything gives you cancer.”
He should update it to say, “Everything deemed offensive is also racist.”
Belligerent ghouls run the music industry.
It’s The Simpsons. It’s a cartoon. NO ONE is immune on that show.
