Nuclear with no jokes. At least since the accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant, caused by the earthquake and tsunami that have so far left more than 11,000 deaths and nearly 17,000 missing in Japan. Three television networks in Germany, Austria and Switzerland are censoring or revising chapters of The Simpsons that contain references to nuclear accidents, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The channel ORF of Austria has already withdrawn two episodes scheduled for issue: No. 66, Marge gets a job portraying the radiation death of Marie and Pierre Curie, and Chapter 346, On a clear day I can not see my sister, in which there are jokes about fusion reactors, according to the German newspaper Tagesspiegel.
In total, ORF has quarantined eight episodes until late April, when it will review its policies on disaster communication Fukushima. The channels Pro7 (Germany) and SF (Switzerland) announced that retract all the episodes in esastres see reference to nuclear. The center of Springfield, a dilapidated nuclear plant, has a starring role in the plots of the series, created by Matt Groening first aired on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987, one year after the Chernobyl disaster.
This is the business of Mr. Burns and workplace of Homer Simpson and many other inhabitants of the city of Springfield, not conspicuous for its thoroughness and precautions. Interestingly, the creation of Matt Groening has always been rather critical of nuclear energy. The series begins with Homer Simpson launching a radioactive rod through the window of the car and into the lake near the central living Blinky, a three-eyed mutant fish.
Already in the first season (1990), the series parody a promotional video about the safety of nuclear energy.
