lizzybennetMy kids want to see the Simpson's Movie. They are all excited about it coming out. Why? We don't let them watch the Simpsons.
I'll tell you why. It's because the Simpsons Movie is being advertised all over the kids' networks. Commercials all over Cartoon Netowork and Nick. And, let's not forget that there are Simpson toys in all the Burger King kid's meals.
The Simpsons is not a kids show. It is an adult cartoon, it comes on during Prime time on Fox! Why are they marketing this to kids?
Grrrr....

Date: 2007-07-26 09:26 pm (UTC)The Simpsons (and Futurama) are supposed to be for adults, the appeal was that it kind of made fun of the cartoon thing AND had adult jokes and more, mature situations.
The almighty $$$ drives this one, but thats no surprise to anyone.
