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The Simpsons has been dropped from morning TV in Venezuela after being deemed unsuitable for children - and has been replaced by Baywatch.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

According to the article...
"Venezuelan TV is known for filling its schedules with re-runs of old US series and Latin American soap operas."

Surely it's called El Simpsons in Venezuela? 
The Simpsons can be understood on about 3 different levels, it's understood by kids, teenagers and adults..
