Simpsons ditched by Venezuelan TV

The Simpsons has been dropped from morning TV in Venezuela after being deemed unsuitable for children - and has been replaced by Baywatch.

The popular US cartoon about the yellow dysfunctional family was branded "inappropriate" and pulled by the country's television authorities.

The country's TV regulator said the saga of Homer Simpson, wife Marge and their three children flouted regulations that prohibit "messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents".

please tell me this is a joke, they replaced it with a progrm with hot woman running around in red swimming costumes, how is that more appropiate for children than the simpsons.

What I don't get is why they're playing such an old show! Maybe they only just got BayWatch and The Simpsons there, so this is big news for them...?
