Talking about the simpson's : My dad wouldn't let us watch it when we were growning up (he just saw the t-shirts and didn't like them) Then he got hurt and spent Alot of time in front of the TV getting better and Now he is their biggest fan (he doesn't even mine the grandkids watching!) Shows what an open mind can do huh!
just think its funny how he made the 360 with a little first hand info

**

When The Simpsons first came out there was great hue and cry that children
would identify with Bart and all become bratty.**

When the first T-shirts came out that said "I'm Bart Simpson -- who the hell are you?" my mom was appalled. (She's still believes, without watching, that the Simpsons is appalling and is likely to degrade social standards.)

My son recorded and watched 3 episodes of The Simpsons every day for months. He's intelligent, affectionate, and pretty much well-behaved. Not at all what she would have predicted.

My dh bought me the "Underachiever and Proud of It, Man" shirt. I
enjoyed wearing it to church events hosted by the public school teacher

My kids watched it on the channel broadcast from Mexico, but "ay
carumba" was the only spanish they learned.
