I read a while back that a lady who had a son with down syndrome had made a complaint about one of the simpsons episodes in which bart acts as if he has tourettes syndrome. And supposedly FOX did something about. What episode was that...i rememeber the episode(haven't seen it in a while)...but what season. did they discontinue running that episode or just cut out that part?

On Tue, 25 Dec 2001, MiKe p stated this considered view. Waking from my doze, I hastily scrawled -

I've seen that episode with the scene intact recently.

I mean lets face it, if the cut out everything that might offend somebody, there's be nothing left!

I know your WebTV lets you do cool colors and stuff, but for the sake of the rest of us, please use plain text. The grey on black isn't as bad as some, but it's still not very nice.
