Oh, for the love of... The article mentions Marge Gets a Job. Here is the joke that is the problem:
Lisa: You'll be just like Marie and Pierre Curie. Homer: What'd they do? Lisa: They discovered radium! Then they both died of radiation poisoning. Those monsters! Where, exactly, are we drawing the line on this? Is Homer Defined out of bounds because he somehow saves the plant by a random choice and it looks like there's trouble? How 'bout Homer Goes To College when he causes a meltdown in a test unit? Marge vs The Monorail should be edited because we see a squirrel with laser eyes clearly caused by radiation. If I may borrow an advertising slogan: There's stupid, and there's television-executive stupid. On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 3:02 PM, David Bruggeman <[email protected]> wrote: > It already happened here.
