Baywatch better for Kids than Cartoons?

No matter how absurd that tagline sounds..it is true; atleast according to the Venezualan Government. Recently in Venezuala, the Broadcast ministry removed the Simpsons from the air during the peak hours of kids viewing, because it was believed to be detrimental to kids, and replaced it with,u guessed it: Baywatch Hawai. Yes, that same show which was so succintly summarised in Friends as : a bunch of girls in bikinis running (and for the unitiated, Baywatch Hawai has more girls, with skimpier bikinis), is believed to imbue better family values and foster the edcation of Venezualan youth.
Now, on the surface this looks like a ridiculous ruling, and yet another example of a govt cock up. But look closely and you will realise that is nothing more than Govt propoganda, because there is no other logical reasoning for it otherwise. Simpson is in terms of visual content not at all detriment to kids, and again being a cartoon is taken less seriously than Baywatch. Now I'm not being conservative and actually saying baywatch is bad for kids, just that it is no better than simpson, maybe slightly worse. The real reason why this happened, according too me, is that the Simpsons has a history of political commentary through its shows , and it is often aimed at dictatorial communist regimes, such as those of Venezuala, and thus it was banned to prevent the youth of Venezuala from learning about democracy, free speech and other such privileges. Infact the official reason given was -"that the show sends messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents." What education might that be? Anti-capitalist propaganda perhaps. Infact the show is now threatened in Argentina because in one episode Juan Peron is called a dictator. Ay caramba!
All this goes to show is how lucky we Indians are to live in a country which still has a free media, I was recently involved in a debate where the guy said Indian media is biased and controlled by politicians, I wish I could show this to him and show what really a controlled and biased media and I would also probably add- "Eat my shorts!!".
