Germans seen to be going crazy over this nuclear thing, totally crazy. One article says they’re taking nuclear accident themed episodes of the Simpsons off the air.
“Broadcasters in Germany, Austria and Switzerland have decided to ban or censor episodes of the popular cartoon series that make fun of nuclear meltdowns.
“We are checking all the episodes and we won’t show any suspect ones, but we won’t cut any scenes,” said Stella Rodger, a spokeswoman for German broadcaster Pro7. “We haven’t postponed any yet.”
Austria’s ORF network has so far banned a total of eight episodes, including one that features scientists Marie and Pierre Curie dying of radiation poisoning.”
There may be a better article around, but you get the idea. Voting for the Greens based on a single natural disater in another country is bound to lead to regret. It’s worse than voting for a candidate based purely on one’s identity as a particular race or having particular sexual behaviours.
So, they'll be cutting every episode, given that the opening credit scene is nuclear mishap.
