Simpsons Bad For Kids - Baywatch Good
I was reading the press release from Televen which is a Venezuelan television station about how they are having to replace The Simpsons from its 11am time slot. Although I did not agree 100% with the decision, I could understand when the release said, "It had to be taken off. They (National Telecommunications Commission) consider it to be a series that isn't appropriate for that time because it isn't appropriate for children," she added.
The spokesperson added that the sitcom contains "messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents."
Not much of a story and I really didn't have much to say and was going to ignore the whole thing, until I kept reading.
Turns out the show has been replaced by Baywatch Hawaii. Ahh yes, the show that is much more appropriate for children. If The Simpsons goes against the whole education of boys, girls, and adolescents than I would hate to see what kind of educational system they are running in Venezuela when the messages in Baywatch Hawaii are deemed an approved supplement to the education of kids.
What I really think is the reasoning is that the men who run the watchdog organization like to monitor the comings and goings of half naked Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson as part of their job and laugh to themselves that they are getting paid to do so. Of course it could be something as simple as Hugo Chavez loving the way The Hoff looks in a bathing suit.
No complaints have been received from the public. I'm guessing that it is because the guys are too busy doing other things with their hands instead of dialing a phone.
