Oct. 17, 2005 Arab satellite channel MBC has decided to run the Simpsons in the middle east, the show now called Al Shamsoon will have to make some changes to not offend arab sensibilities. So I decided to dust off my old crystal ball and look into the future to see what changes will be made to a show that needs no changes. The picture was a little fuzzy at first but then I saw Mr. Burns, but no Mr. Smithers. It didn't take me too long to figure out why. Smithers was replaced by by an arab man in a turban named Rasheed. Mr Burns: Rasheed, do we have that uranium ready for the Iranians? Ramadan is almost upon us and we have infidels to kill. Rasheed: Yes sir. Mr. Burns: Exxxcellent. I couldn't find reverend Lovejoy, the burned out minister who could care less, instead I see Imam Achmed. Eerily, every sermon has to do with holocaust denial, or killing infidels. "As the word of God say, death to the infidel. We all know our jobs people, so on your way out please feel free to pick up a bomb vest." No Krusty the Klown, but that's not a big surprise since his charachter is jewish. Instead he has been replaced by Al Jazeera's children network. In this version the death of Mrs. Flanders was no big deal because Ned had three other wives. Long gone is Moe, the vile bartender. Instead we have Mohammed who runs a coffee shop where, men only, sit around drink coffee that is thick enough to pave roads with and discuss how much they want to kill infidels.(or soccer they're still working that out) I see Bart, now named Badr, who is pretty much the same. He still gets into trouble and gives his parents grief. But I couldn't see Lisa anywhere. Oh wait, there she is covered in a burqa submissively obeying her fathers demands, rather than being the intellectual of the family, because her father has forbidden her to learn how to read. My crystal ball shows a quick cancellation, and an upset satellite channel. How does one say D'oh in arabic?
