 |

| BBC wrote: | The Simpsons has been dropped from morning TV in Venezuela after being deemed unsuitable for children - and has been replaced by Baywatch.
The popular US cartoon about the yellow dysfunctional family was branded "inappropriate" and pulled by the country's television authorities.
Caracas TV station Televen has started showing episodes of the beachside show in the same mid-morning slot.
It became famous for its bikini-clad stars, including Pamela Anderson.
The country's TV regulator said the saga of Homer Simpson, wife Marge and their three children flouted regulations that prohibit "messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents".
It said that some unspecified complaints had been received from viewers.
Televen's manager may decide to show The Simpsons, which has been dubbed into Spanish, at another time of day.
The station is showing episodes of Baywatch Hawaii, a later incarnation of the lifeguard rescue show which started in 1989. |
 You have to laugh don't you.... Baywatch is more suitable than the Simpsons??

I have to ask though- How exactly does 'The Simpsons' go against 'the education of young boys, girls and adolescents'? Its madness, absolute madness!

I would be worried if the boys started copying Pamela Anderson, to be honest...
