I blame Fox. There are some great Simpson's clips that aren't on YouTube, unfortunately (not in English anyway).

"He's grooming me!"

Mmmm, elephant fresh

The election got me thinking about these gems:



(apologies for bad quality)

Interesting to note:

There have been no references to Barack Obama since he became president

There was for George Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. But no doubt being on Fox (Republican), the Simpsons chooses not to mention Barack Obama

One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere, like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Brilliant writing.

The Halloween episodes are all rubbish. Can't think of one I actually like.

Well, if it will end terror...

(As an aside, every time lard lad punts the dog, it cracks me up. Wish there was an animated gif of it somewhere on the net. *hint hint*)

Clinton was a democrat.

Those references were disparaging to those presidents anyway. I don't think this is an example of Fox conservative bias.

I don't think it's a political thing, more that the Simpsons used to be aimed at all ages. Now it's just toilet humour aimed at pre-teens bringing politics into it doesn't fit. Plus the other ones were in as 'guests' to make fun of. There are too many in the US who equate making fun of Obama as being racist so Fox understandably just stay away from it altogether rather than risk audience numbers.

Yeh, I also agree it wouldnt work. Plus Obama isnt the type of world leader to redicule since hes well liked.

It's hardly an endorsement; just a bit of fun.
