I have been waiting for this!

As much as it's a load of nonsense, it's yet more reason for this show to just pack it in.

The toning down of Homer started long ago. Go watch the first few seasons, He is constantly strangling Bart, "Why I'm gonna.........". That has gradually subsided over the years, until today: Hands off for good.

This is just the first time they are acknowledging it, and have taken an oath to never re-introduce it.

Yes we are a woke world. I am waiting for the end of Beauty pagents, Horse Racing, Greyhound racing, boxing, wrestling, and bullfighting. It's coming. The vegetarian crowd is really pushing artificial meats, trying to turn us all into vegetarians, and then vegans.

Woke also means having plus-sized women as swimsuit models. I totally agree they don't have to be rail-thin, but this Mr. Rogers "feel good about yourself", over-correction is just disgusting. There has never been anything attractive or healthy about being overweight.

..and bullfighting..


That's one they should have stopped a hundred years ago. I always root for the bulls but the cowards that fight them get swords and get to torture them before killing them.

It really is amazing that still continues! That would not fly in US; I'm surprised it does in Socialist Europe, but it is a deeply rooted tradition in Spain!

Sometimes tradition and history wins out. I mean look at Catholics; They admit they're Cannibals!

An actual, actual, marital divorce will be the next major step in this progressive 'The Simpsons'.

reply

Why would you say DIVORCE is Progressive? All facets of life divorce.

Ridiculous. Homer's strangles of Bart were some of the funniest parts of the interplay between the two.

reply


But implausible. Never once did my son's tongues hang out when choking them out like Bart.

You obviously need to work on that grip!
