Ale Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Last night, Simpsons fans were treated to a controversial and bleak extended intro, the brainchild of enigmatic U.K. graffiti artist Banksy. The usual opening credits, which were occasionally graffito-tagged with Banksy's name, were followed by an extended sequence featuring Asian workers laboring over production of The Simpsons' animation and merchandise. We applaud the guts of the show's producers, but what was the point of shining the animated Emmy winner (and its network) in such a negative light? WARNING: The below clip features children in toxic working conditions, kittens being killed to stuff Bart Simpson dolls, and a malnourished unicorn whose horn is used to punch the center of DVDs.

VIsqo Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I liked the color and the graphics at first, but wow, they really went far with the ending.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Whats the problem? I love the USA, but you guys need to get a grip when it comes to stuff like this, the land of the free is way to stuck up when it comes to stuff like this, overe here you would not read about this.

JumpinJack AJ Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I saw it on YouTube earlier today. I was interpreting it as them shedding light on how somethings are produced...including their own?!...I guess...lol. I like The Simpsons tho' I haven't watched a new episode on TV in over a decade. I guess the best way to describe it was interesting and a little awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I usually watch the reruns of "The Simpsons" during weeknights, on Sunday nights they have football on so I miss the new episodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIsqo Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I havent seen a new episode in years, but I always liked and enjoyed the reruns back in my country, the Latino Voices were even better than the original ones in English and thats something that hardly ever happens..
