Plus the Simpsons are one of the few (only?) major network families to regularly attend church on camera. SFH

Originally Posted By Mr X Simpsons not Saturday morning material? No way! It's wholesome family values, American style. SFH, I remember that too. The first time I saw it I was like "wha?". It WAS shocking. Not any more though. I wonder what it'll take to make Family Guy and South Park not seem shocking. :X

When he disappeared you, you stayed disappeared!") Have to say, in this case I can understand why the Argentines would be annoyed. Peron was overthrown by a military coup but was democratically-elected 3 times and the disappearances of people took place under subsequent right-wing military regimes. Those disappearances are still a very sore issue in Argentina, as well they should be. Does kind of make me wonder why they put that comment in!

It's not a massive deal, just seems a little odd they would be that flippant about it when I'm sure Argentina is a decent market for Los Simpson!
