I know The Simpson's is considered a cartoon with adult themes but I
also know that most kids watch it and that a lot of the shows
merchandise etc is aimed at children. But I recently watched the new
season of The Simpson's and feel a bit alarmed by how over sexual it
has become. For instance one episode stars Katy Perry to poke fun at
the Muppet's controversy, at the end Moe goes to kiss Katy Perry's
bellybutton, to which she says 'That's not my belly button, but I
didn't say stop'. Maybe I'm reading to much into it but that seems
like a dirty joke. Another episode ends with a lesbian orgy and a
third has a scene with Nelson hiding behind a tree with photos of
women and making strange noises. I'm no prude but this kind of thing
shocks me, especially the implication of a ten year old getting off on
photos :/
Im 19 so I expect the producers are trying to market people my age and
think the way to do it is make lots and lots of sex jokes. But to be
honest I don't like the thought of younger kids seeing this.
