Rest In Peace artistic freedom. Rest In Peace comedy. The leeching
Politically Correct brigade have once again gotten their way. The
Simpsons - a show that, let's be honest, hardly anyone even watches
anymore - has surrendered to the unwavering demands of a small group
of PC babies, who have screamed and wailed and moaned that the Apu
character is "culturally insensitive."

A few weeks ago South Park had an episode about it. Two PC Parents
give birth to five PC Babies, and the PC Babies throw a tantrum
anytime someone offends them, and the tantrums don't stop till the
babies get what they want, resulting in the people of South Park
having to banish one of their oldest, most offensive characters.
They send him...to the Simpsons, that cesspool of racism and hatred.
Yeah, we live in a world where a group of coddled, whiny people have
determined that The Simpsons is hateful. The Simpsons.

They'll be heading for Ned Flanders next, that white supremacist
cis-gender man, the symbol of the patriarchy. Then it'll be Moe, the
bartender: Why has he taken the job of a minority/woman/transgender?
Where's the diversity?! Because, in the world of the PC babies-and,
with every small surrender like this one, the world becomes theirs
just that much more-"comedy" should adhere to cultural sensitivity;
to the rigorous standards of postmodern social doctrine.

In a few weeks' time, they'll be demanding that the show feature
more racial diversity. More transgender characters. Fewer white -
well, yellow characters. Fewer police. More, uh, professors. The
plot lines will take subjects like Marxism, veganism, toxic
masculinity, into consideration. Oh, and of course cultural
appropriation, the idea that got us in this mess to begin with.

The show will become exactly like Lisa, but not Lisa, because even
Lisa, who is a stereotype of the annoying PC kid who ruins the fun
for everyone, even Lisa is not PC enough.

It won't be the Simpsons at all. But it will be the most
culturally-sensitive, most forward-thinking tv show ever made. It
will be the crowning achievement of the social justice movement. And
not one single moment of it will be enjoyable or funny.

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.
