how Venezuela looks after the children

[Universe Prince]

In case there was any doubt that the government of Venezuela is a little screwy, check this out:

"It had to be taken off," said Elba Guillen, a spokeswoman for Televen TV station (referring to The Simpsons). "The government considers it to be a series that isn?t appropriate for that time because it isn't appropriate for children."

But that isn't the screwy part. The replacement for The Simpsons? It's Baywatch. Yes, that Baywatch, with David Hasselhoff and shapely women in red swimsuits running in slow motion across the beach. Figure that one out.

it is the pageant capital of the world.
so baywatch may actually be a healthier than thier own idea of body images.

The Simpsons seem to be very popular in Spanish, but I can't stand watching because the voices they gave them are typical cartoon voices, like some ancient Japanese anime or other translated 'toon. The voices they gave the characters n English are pretty near perfect. Some of the minor characters, like Comic Book Man and Nelson Muntz in Spanish entirely miss the personality of the character. Really, really awful. You would not think a cartoon voice would be that important, but it is.

The Simpsons get into politics, and Baywatch doesn't. Venezuela is a tropical country where clothing is scanty, so that makes it seem less adult than the Simpsons.

The plots on the Simpsons are quite adult-oriented: the plots on Baywatch seem aimed at a seventh-grader at the highest.
