Meh, the show really wnt off in the last 3 years...its all the ''political corectness''bullshit I say !! Its no fun when they cant (they can, they're just affraid to) insult any group of people at all anymore. The SImpsons would have away with so much more funnier stuff back in the 90's when American media still had some balls left to screw with any group of people other than Eastern Europeans and Christians |
I know it's gotten worse but Simspons always was politically correct and never was bold. It's left wing satire written by liberals.
It's quite well made though and I used to enjoy it despite the propaganda and the pure non-political comedy in it was solid.

I take it you've never actually seen it before, no?

I watched every show from early to mid 90's and from 1996 and forward a couple of shows here and there. Simpsons has never been controversial, not even close.
But you have a left wing perspective, so you might think that critizising capitalism or the weapon industry is bold.

I think you may live in an alternate reality, where the world is different from the world where The Simpsons was created. And criticizing 'capitalism or the weapons industry' is bold (unless you're a right winger with a distorted view of the world). There's also the fact that The Simpsons is a cartoon, and for a cartoon to be broadcasted during prime time, and for it to be aimed towards more mature individuals, dealing with actual issues (as opposed to having a cat and mouse chase each other), was quite controversial at the time.

Not sure about the USA to be honest but it definately wasn't controversial in Sweden. It was considered mild political satire. Clever but mild.
Don't get me wrong though, I always liked Simpsons.
Criticizing the weapon industry is not bold man, where did you get that from lol? If a cartoon made propaganda for war and money, that would have been bold!
