"The Simpsons", "Baywatch" and Venezuela OH MY!!!

[bigdaddy]

God Bless the USA! We aren't the stupidest country for once!

Venezuela has forced U.S. cartoon "The Simpsons" off its airwaves, calling the show a potentially bad influence on children, and filled its morning slot with reruns of the beach-and-bikini show "Baywatch."

D'OH!

1. The Simpsons isn't a Saturday morning cartoon!
2. Baywatch isn't a Saturday morning show!
3. Umm.. I guess censorship is bad and all...

Baywatch used to be the most popular show in the world. Now the most popular show is CSI: Miami. I dunno what that says about the world, but it ain't a compliment.

What can I say? *Puts on sunglasses* The show's a killer.

 

[bigdaddy]

But if you read the article it's Baywatch: Hawaii! It's not even the real one!

 

[Aragorn]

CSI: Miami is the best show to see Southern California in Hi Def!

In this case, Frank, what you see.... (puts on sunglasses) ....is what you get.

YYYYEEEAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life under Hugo Chavez sounds like fun.

They were probably thinking "it's a cartoon, it's a kids show." The Simpsons is not a kids show and they finally discovered this, course neither is any version of babewatch.

Hmm... Big fake tits or Marge Simpsons' hair?

Tough choice.

Way to go Hugo! You dipshit scumbag.

They voted for him in fair elections that didn't need a court to decide who wins.

So yes he is a wacko, but so is Bush, and several dozen other leaders.

No one can seem to criticize a leader without getting "tu quoque" in response.

 

[Aragorn]

Well since Chavez isn't white, that makes him criticism-proof.

You sure it wasn't rigged?

You sure the 2000 US election wasn't rigged?

 

[Aragorn]

When did this become the Hugo Chavez ass-kissing "I wanna have your baby" thread?

 

[bigdaddy]

They voted him into office in an election that had less fraud than the 2000 or 2004 election. I know someone from down there, they were as free as it can be. If it was set up then the last election they had he would have won, he lost, by a little.

Just because people are brainwashed by Fox "News" and Bush and other bullshit doesn't mean shit. No one would give a fuck about the country except they have cheap oil, and we like invading countries with oil.
