Bart Simpson Banned In Iran
“The Simpsons” are corroding the morals of Iranian youth, an official said yesterday, as dolls based on Bart, Homer and the rest of the cartoon family joined Barbie among Western toys targeted by a new crackdown in Tehran. “The Simpsons dolls are merchandise from an animated series, of which some episodes are even banned in Europe and America,” said Mohammad Hossein Farjoo, whose agency oversees what Iranian children can play with. He did not elaborate on what episodes might have been censored elsewhere.
