Default 'The Simpsons' under fire in Russia

Quote:
Cult US cartoon THE SIMPSONS is under fire from furious Russian politicians, who insist the animated series promotes violence and domestic chaos.

The angry MPs are campaigning for the show to slash "aggressive" scenes and display a more peaceful message - or risk censorship in Russia.

MP YELENA AFANASYEVA says, "The Simpsons is crammed with violent and aggressive episodes."

Duh! It's why we watch! But of course The Simpsons is so much more than just violence and depraved human behavior, LOL...

Hello Russia,
I guess I could cut you some slack since you are probably just catching up on TV since the communist rule, but um, the Simpsons have been on for over 15 years, so I'm highly doubting that they are going to clean it up now. Now, if you think the Simpsons are bad - wait till you check out Beavis and Butthead. That's some crazy stuff. If you survive that, try watching Ren and Stimpy. You'll build up a tolerance in no time.
Best of luck,
IceQueen

Violent and aggressive episodes?

Hey, how about that time Stalin nearly wiped out 1/2 of your population in gulags and putsches? Remember that shit? Man, that was awesome...

Russki retards.

Sounds like somewhat at TASS didn't get a payoff.
