"It was really edgy, except for the parts the studio made us edit out, and also it does not reflect the reality of our production methods."

MY WHAT BITING SOCIAL COMMENTARY.

BOO, Al Jean! You have raped my fond memories of the Simpsons for 10 years too long! Also the NYT forgot to ask him how it feels to perform fellatio on Rupert Murdoch's corpse. BOO!

The video is down per the link but the episode is available on Hulu.

Banksy being at the helm or not it is great. Any time people are forced to interact with the product or media they consume we all benefit.

But wait, @atomic... You expect documented fact from your prime-time animated comedies as well? Standards!

@Viking I don't expect much from much, but even this strikes me as remarkably stupid. Either they make cartoons in sweatshops or they don't.

-If they do, well then, good for being honest about it? But they're still doing it. And they're saying that they don't in the first place. So... the only point is that some Limey street artist with no apparent ties to the animation industry thinks that they do.

-If they don't, what's the fucking point? False liberal guilt ≠ "people interacting with the media they consume".
