Simpsons deemed unsuitable for children.......

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Not surprised. The US is somewhat weird for people fainting at the sight of boobs.

To be honest I can see why this might happen. The Simpsons has always been pretty violent and subversive right from the start. I think it's an overreaction but I can understand it.

As for putting on Baywatch, well Latin America has never been scared of boobies exactly and even the prudish Yanks considered Baywatch a family program.
