Because of a joke the tenth episode of the nineteenth series The Simpsons will not be transmitted in Argentina. So he decided on the Fox television station, which broadcasts the popular cartoon in the world, following complaints by Lorenzo Pepe, MP and general secretary of the institute
Juan Domingo Perón. Rage of the Argentine Parliament has been unleashed from the episode, subtitled in English only currently visible on the Internet, entitled
E. Pluribus Wiggum , during which, in a crowded debate held in Moe's bar, the patrons are too passionate in a tirade against American politicians. "The best thing to do would be to abolish democracy forever" said Moe. "I'd really like a military dictatorship of Juan Perón." Carl points out, adding: "When did you go away, remained disappeared!" Lenny adds: "And then his wife was Madonna!" In Buenos Aires
have not found the humor of Springfieldians refined so refined and the Federal Committee for Broadcasting has decided to censor the episode he was right to Lorenzo Pepe.
"The United States show great ignorance." Said Congressman in support of its request for censorship. "The Yankees do not know much Latin Americana, please comply with a distinguished leader of great importance in this region throughout the twentieth century." Obviously we are talking about Perón, former president of Argentina and her husband, second wife of Eva Duarte, played by Madonna in the film Evita. Pepper argues that the reference to the alleged "dictatorship" of Peron and his involvement in the phenomenon of the disappeared are both foolish and disgraceful allusions to the whole of Argentine society that the United States were "poisoning". In this review
Argentine deputy in common with Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, who, believing that the board "attack on the integral formation of children, girls and adolescents", has suspended in April this year, making replace with the television series Baywatch, The Simpsons certainly more educational. The series created by Matt Groening
is also censored in China since 2006 and boasts among its greatest enemies, the same Fox that is literally massacred every time if the opportunity arises. In 2003, even voice that turned the leadership of the network had sued the author for doing a parody of the news channel Fox News that, in the girth of the newsletter, sent the following news: "The Democrats cause cancer - the 92 % of Democrats are gay - Kennedy joined the Republican Party after his death. "
In short, it appears that Matt Groening has really angry with everything and everyone and not save anyone from her own keen sense of humor, not even himself, represented in an episode as a grumpy old man, drunk and violent that he conceived the board to pay his gambling debts (photo). Of course, nothing corresponds to reality and everything is the result of the humorous vein of the author who, in defiance of the politically correct, but under a fair level playing field, is not ashamed to mock several former American presidents: Clinton, Ford, Reagan, Nixon, reaching portray a Republican Party meeting in which senior Bush sitting at the same table, Dracula and Hitler. Judging
more closely the kind of humor of the Simpsons the reaction of the Argentine deputy could be considered excessive in the sense that millions of viewers follow the TV series are well aware of the critical social and political-based humor that often relies on the ignorance of characters, to expose their ignorance or on the same platitudes classic, to symbolize their falsity.
After nineteen series, over 400 episodes of The Simpsons full of insults and expletives, Lorenzo Pepe may be right in saying that the Americans, all represented in the figure of Matt Groening, are ignorant of the Latin American and Perón was not a dictator who had nothing to do with the disappearances, but should also state that I am ignorant about America itself, and that George W. Bush senior has never been seated at a table with vampires and Nazis.
