    Last night I watched the new Simpson online, it was very racist,stupid angle that was dated and horrible,I will not post the details as I think it is something you are better off watching to believe how low this once great show has to stoop to get attention,one thing is for sure it won't be on Sky 1 when this season starts next year over here.

    Which episode?

    Season 20 ep.7

    Right - You do know it's "The Simpsons" and not meant to portray a serious opinion?

    I looked up the episode in question. Is the the one about the "muslim terrorist"? I read the plot - Apparently it addresses the misconceptions about all Muslims being terrorists.

    Rather than being racist, I think it (from at least what I read of the plot) appears to be the polar opposite and addresses prejudice against people of muslim faith.

    ye i agree people very rarely ask me have i seen the new simpsons and when they do im fairly suprised

    lol, I just watched it there. Wasn't racist at all. South Park were doing it 7 years ago?

    BS!

    The 24 episode of south park (H.Clinton gets a snuke up her snizz or something) is NOT 7 years old.


    Why don't you admit why your really pissed eh?

    You're fooling no one here, everyone can easily guess what religion you are!


    Thats right I said it! You're a MAC HEAD. & your just pissed cause this episode rips into all you fanatical Mac users and your God, Steve Jobs.

    Stop wasting your money and get a PC, don't take it out on the Simpson's when you find out you can't run exe files or play any decent games! :mad:

    Indeed, it really is a shadow of its former self. That episode was not racist however.

    I am using a DELL not a **** MAC, I don't even have an I-POD, I hate apple and all their crapple,how many have watched the episode, I just didn't find it funny and yes it has been about 5 years since a really great episode.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    lol. Theres a difference between something not being funny, and that something being racist.

    Which bits were racist then eh? G'wan tell me, I'd love to know.

    The bit showing steve jobs in his underwater MAC building, or the bit where bart dubs steve jobs speech, insulting all the mindless MAC heads who were once again ready to drop buckets of cash on something just cause its cost loads of money, is white, and has an apple on it..

    Shup u! Its satire god damn it. Plus I'm trying to entice the op into actually responding. Cause he seems so unwilling to actually point out what was racist. I think cause deep down, he knows he's just being over PC. Just like MAC heads know that deep down, they should really HAVE a PC....

    Eh? See what I did there? :pac:



    :eek:

    It wasn't racist imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52 ✭✭XboxHero


    Funny how you OP, who I'm assuming is not Muslim and often mistaken for a terrorist, find this episode racist when actual Muslims don't:rolleyes:

    http://https://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/theremoteisland/archive/2008/12/09/quot-simpsons-quot-episode-praised-by-the-council-on-islamic-american-relations.aspx

    I think they succeeded in portraying the misconceptions of Muslim people in the USA.

    The Simpsons: 1
    OP: 0

    Hehe:p

    Take out the word 'racist' and you've got the synopsis for every single Simpsons episode in the last 10 years.

    Please stop watching this show people! Let it die with just a shred of dignity intact. :(

    People still watch the simpsons :eek:
