Post Homer Banned in Venezuela

Now Chavez has gone too far:

The Simpsons has been dropped from morning TV in Venezuela after being deemed unsuitable for children - and has been replaced by Baywatch.

I like the "unspecified # of complaints" comment.

And the fact that the #1 show is hosted by Hugo himself, even when he gave an 8 hour speech. What a awful leader.

if providing monetary and military support to a terrorist organization like FARC wasn't bad enough, he is ruining entertainment.

I think we can expect to see Hugo on The Simpsons next season. Like when Former Pres. Bush mentioned The Simpsons and he got a whole episode dedicated to him.

Default Hugo Simpson

Maybe Chavez was upset with Hugo being the first name of Bart's evil twin.

yeah...."unspencified # of complaints"...lol...probably no one, just one of his ways to have the few remaining TV stations under his "foot".

This is nothing after taking off the air Venezuela's oldest TV station (RCTV)

Thumbs up Crisis averted

Reason rules again. It just goes to show how important the proper time slot can be. Please recall the Marines. War is not the solution, beer and television are.
