I honestly don't understand why people like you go through all the trouble to sign up for an account on a conservative activists' forum, just so you can post comments dismissing and trivializing any objections to crap like this being injected into our culture with increasing frequency.
Yes, the Simpsons is just a cartoon, and I would not personally bother to make this show my battleground, but if some more motivated FReepers out there want to get the word out with the chance that they may have a positive influence on the entertainment industry, I say more power to them. That's what the culture war is all about. I would rather see that than someone on this site demanding that everyone shut up and take it.
As an aside, I stopped watching the Simpsons years ago, after being a long time fan, because their political satire became more and more humorless until it has become almost a straight list of talking points, and not the kind of talking points that I like.
Fee:
Thank you for your comments. I don't watch the show, but lik you said, people should be more concerned about what passes for "entertainment" these days.
The Simpsons is a cartoon. It's been on for many years, and although is does aggravate many on the right on occasion, it also antagonizes the left just as frequently. You'll see the same results in a thread about South Park.
Of course you ccan object and write to the sponsors if you don't like a particular episode. But coming on here and pretty much demanding that others do the same is a sure-fire way to get flamed. The more you stick around, the more you'll find out these things that arouse strong reactions. You might very well be surprised at some other opinions FReepers hold. But we are a diverse group.
Here's an article you might like from National Review Deroy Murdiock is also a black conservative.
