Issues bound to be argued in this thread:
*Religion
*The idea that animation is "just for kids"

I hear that Family Guy and South Park (which is on cable and generally free from the FCC) have had their complaints released, too...

You gotta give me a break with this nonsense.

How pathetic.

**Hiya Animation** · 03-23-2008, 07:07 PM

lol, I wonder if the FCC really gives a crap about any of this

**Rud** · 03-23-2008, 07:08 PM

wow, this is some funny complining.......

"The Simpson cartoon features two women in swimsuits. While there is no nudity, this scene was inapropriate because women should be dressed conservitavely and obey the wishes of their husbands"

what time period does this guy live in?

"it showed Homer Marrying to lesbians on prime time. This has gone far enough! this show desentisizes the consept of Homosexuality that the bible says is an abomination. children are watching this and if one is on the verge of becoming gay, it it saying its okay"

wow, i dint know you could become gay

"im sick and tired of the media telling my kids its great to be gay"

Some the complaints were written on their stationary.

**Desensitized** · 03-23-2008, 07:51 PM

"We do not feel this is appropriate for children to see"

"Help make TV safe for all children"

I hate human beings.

Complaint Summary:
Although I do enjoy raunchy humor on occasions, I was somewhat taken aback by the topic discussed on The Simpson's television show last night. Homer was discussing "masturbation." ; I didn't think this was a subject for a cartoon character. I would have expected to hear this on a nightime, adult theme television series or on a talk show, but not as a general discussion for a cartoon character. ; I enjoy watching the Simpson's. I find it is very funny. As I am typing, I'm beginning to realize that just because it is presented as a cartoon does not lessen the importance of the message or the impact it may have on those listening. ; It is adult entertainment where topics involving our everyday lives are played out in a satirical view point to minimize, maximize, or simply bring to the forefront issues which are not always addressed in a open, non-hostile manner. Just a thought. Maybe it isn't really a "cartoon" after all.

This one I actually found interesting.

It seems the public perception of "cartoon" will never fully be erased or changed. Which really is too bad.
