"It's no secret that children are attracted to cartoons. While I, as an adult, appeciate and enjoy some of the humor in shows like The Simpsons and South Park, some of the material is simply not appropriate for children. And if you want to use that flacid excuse that it's shown past children's bedtimes, ask yourself how many children you know that aren't intimately aware of the characters and storylines on South Park, which tries to cover itself with the same excuse.

I'm not trying to legislate anything by the way, just shaking my head at more of the putrid morality spewing from Hollywood. They are the ones who impose their morals (or lack of them) on us, pal, NOT the other way around"



I couldn't agree more... kids love cartoons and I do appreciate the adult humor in the Simpsons... but the mix... it forces kids to grow up beyond their years. If they watch it.

You're quite mad, I take it?
The Simpsons does not force anyone to grow up.

Let me guess, you were the geeky kid in school who was always picked on.

I'm in my 30's.
I remember what passed for humor and jokes in Junior High. Nothing the Simpsons do would even come close to being as crude.
