Wow, Fox Television has really atoned for its pixillation of Stew's butt (from The Family Guy) with Sunday night's new episode of The Simpsons. Not only was Marge's sister Patty revealed to be gay, she was all set to marry her professional-golfer / gay lover, when Marge discovered that said golfer was in fact carrying a fully operational cartoon penis! And that doesn't even touch on Homer's brief gay fantasy, in which he passionately and repeatedly tongue kisses himself! What are the Parent's Television Council going to say about this one? Will they include the Homer-Erotic moment on their best-of-filthy-TV page? Download an MP3 of Steinski's Simpsons remix while the PTV wraps its mind around this one.
Did you catch the disclaimer before the episode? This is the first-ever parental warning for "The Simpsons." Normally they just cram a bunch of those codes under the parental rating during the opening credits, in case, say Homer gets repeatedly punches an ostrich or smokes a medicinal doob to assist his eye recovery. It was a straight-up (vs. the "disclaimers" they ran before some early Halloween episodes) couple of lines to the effect of, "Due to the discussion of gay marriage, parental discretion is advised."

So let me get this straight... in the first of two episodes of the Simpsons tonight (July 24) Flanders unknowingly takes in two girls who run an webcam promoting girl on girl action. Not only do Bart and Milhouse discover this, but Homer then joins with Bart in watching all this unfold over the internet. But this is ok with everyone. Then in the supposedly controversial gay marriage episode that followed tonight Homer marries Cletus and Brandine who have been noted to be full blooded brother and sister. So... incest is ok with these nutjob groups? How strange. I love how FOX bows down to a piddling group like the Parent's Television Council. Way to go Fox.

You are a fucking idiot. If you don't want your children to watch the show, don't let them. There is such a thing as free speech guaranteed by the US Constitution, so let the individual decide what they want to watch. And please quit fucking whining!
