Wednesday, February 20. 2008Nelson & LisaOK, did anyone happen to catch The Simpson's Valentine Special on 2/17? Cute and all, but for some reason I was VERY BOTHERED by the Sid & Nancy take-off... not so much that they did a take-off from that movie which was a favorite of mine when I was a Troubled Teen, but the fact that they showed Nelson-as-Sid and Lisa-as-Nancy cutting chocolate powder into lines with a razor blade (they didn't snort it, but they did put it in their cocoa) and cooking down some chocolate in a spoon was a little too close for comfort in today's drug sensitive atmosphere. And they were all wasted and disheveled on Chocolate.... I'm sure Hershey and M&M/Mars will have something to say about that!
I'm all in favor of controversial television, but that was a little more than my ethics could take. I know it's Fox and all, but geez. Am I overreacting? Trackbacks

My favorite episode from The Simpsons was when Bart and Milhouse had pure Squishy syrup and went on a trip, and Bart ended up in the Junior Campers. So, no, the coke/chocolate doesn't bother me.
