Disagree.

One of the reasons that I love The Simpsons is that they slip in a few clever jokes here and there -- the show has broad appeal precisely because it appeals to kids of all ages. This is a lesson that they learned at the feet of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Longhorn (the loudmouthed rooster -- is that name right?) and others -- I watched those in black and white as a kid, and revisiting them in my teens revealed another angle that had been subtly introduced -- adult humour that would go over the kids heads but make the adults smile. And I love that kind of intelligent humour, that's right up my alley.

And anyone who reads lyrics about the devil into the Flintstones really needs to chill out. It's a theme song about a cartoon, folks. It's the same kind of people who find the FreeBSD logo (the cute devil with his pitchfork -- he's a *daemon*, and he *forks* processes -- geddit?) offensive -- or the ones who made Procter and Gamble change their logo because they could 'see' the devil's face.

To paraphrase Chip Salzenburg on the YAPC list recently: Chill. Out. People.
