The Simpsons has been deemed


Wednesday, April 9, 2008

simpsonsreplcedbybaywatch49.jpgThe Simpsons has been deemed "inappropriate" by Venezuelan government officials and removed from its 9:30a.m. slot on national television. Taking its place is Baywatch Hawaii, a reincarnation of the original t&a0-heavy show about lifeguards. Funny how David Hasselhoff, someone who has struggled with alcoholism, and Yasmine Bleeth, a former cocaine addict, are considered better role models than Bart and Lisa. [BBC]
