The Simpson's...Parental Discretion Advised
Due to discussion of same-sex marriage. Tonight's episode. I don't know if it's Fox' doing, or if the writers are poking fun at society.

Either way...

2. at the same time, the simpsons are known for pulling stuff like this.
they love to show society's foibles by displaying a "flameworthy" part of society. thus, gay marriage.

what would be AWESOME is if they didn't talk about gay marriage at all. just threw that in front, to show how ridiculous it is that it is a factor.

4. But the promos earlier in the evening...
... which included Family Guy and whatever else is on tonight, also included the disclaimer.

Welcome to Bushmerica! :puke:

3. But 61% of FOX's political contributions go to DEMOCRATS.

5. Stupid FOX
But I'm seriously happy that Matt Groening and crew did this...they like to really push FOX's buttons.
