The Simpsons vs. Baywatch

Today I found this great article (its in Spanish though) about the TV channel Televen in Venezuela. The Venezuelan government kindly suggested that Televen should take The Simpsons off the air because the show infringes on the national norm and contains messages that are not appropriate for children and adolescents. Televen obeyed the governments request and replaced The Simpsons with Baywatch, a show that has yet to receive scrutiny from the government. WHAT?! Baywatch is better than The Simpsons? Come on Chávez, lets get real. Chávez has also banned the use of words like "password" and "email" in the work place. Instead people must say "contraseña" and "correo eléctronico." Chávez feels the use of the English words in a Spanish speaking country is part of the USA's plan to take over the world. Just thought I would share some news that we receive here in Mexico that you may not receive in the USA.
