Censorship's just not what it used to be. When word got out that an upcoming
Simpsons episode suggested that Untouchable Hero Juan Perón was a dictator who 'disappeared' people, Lorenzo Pepe, a former congressional deputy and now secretary general of the National Institute of Juan Peron, asked that the episode be banned (articles:
1,
2,
3,
4). The offending dialogue:
Moe: "Who wants to abolish democracy forever? Show a hands!"
Carl: "I could really go for some kind of military dictator, like Juan Peron. When he 'disappeared' you, you stayed 'disappeared!' "
Lenny: "Plus his wife was Madonna."
Cooler minds, er, prevailed, and the
request was refused. In addition, Mr. Pepe will be forceably restrained and injected with a sense of humor. (A boy can dream.)
