So broadcast television had it in 1991
DVD had it in 2003
Cable TV had in in 2013.
And the internet can’t have it in 2019?

So is Disney also going to remove all the episodes with Apu on this new service?

Because that’s racist! So those what 100+ Episodes should not be condoned or profited off...

According to James L. Brooks, it ain't Disney's decision: https://slate.com/culture/2019/03/micha ... ation.html

Yes, Al Jean, who wrote it, said it was his idea to ask FXX to pull it from being shown on the network and their Simpsons World app (which I guess is over soon.) He claimed while watching Leaving Neverland he started thinking Jackson used the episode to lure boys back when Bart was popular with all boys in the early 90s.

I think he defended Apu in the same interview where he said he's sorry if Indians were taunted by being called Apu by bullies but they have good intentions with the character so none of the writers feel he's racist.

Has Apu been accused of inserting his penis into young boys' bottoms?

Al Jean molested me as a 12 year old at comic con one year...

Now he has been accused of this, so all of the Simpsons should be erased from history.

I mean, it’s not fucking true, there’s no proof or evidence, if he gives me a million dollars, the whole allegation will go away...

You see where this is going?

When you've taken your case to court and made world headlines, then we'll talk about banning the other episodes. Until then, only one banned ep!

Dear Netflix,

Please stop sending me e-mails repeatedly about the Beyonce concert. I don't care.

I'm going to start hoarding hard drives and continue to "acquire" media, it's just too easy to maintain a personal server these days.
