FCC Complaints About The Simpsons

[tegan]

So there's now a record of every complaint the FCC received about The Simpsons from 2010 to 2013. I wish it went back further, but it's still pretty fantastic. If you've ever wondered what sort of people actually complain to the FCC, now you know (spoiler: it's all religious nuts and old people).

 

My single favourite one is the guy who wants The Simpsons to be cancelled and Small Wonders brought back, and DEMANDS that he be given a follow-up to let him know how that's going.

Aw, these folks are all right.  It's OK to be cranky and stuffy!  Our government will dutifully compile their complaints and then (hopefully) take no action at all.

 

 

This is actually an accurate recounting of the episode The Food Wife.

Wow, some of these complaints are... for lack of a better word, insane.

"One line was about whipping someone's toosh" That made me lose my mind laughing. Just the word "toosh" seemed so odd.

[sclpls]

Yeah, FCC complaints about TV shows are great. SNL complaints are strongly recommended. Nearly any era.

This sounds like something Grandpa Simpson would do..!

P.S. I am NOT a crackpot.

"This pertains to things being said that I insist are about Me. I have in the past sent You a hand written complaint regarding 

this, I was told sorry. There is more then one infraction too. Forgive the information I submitted because I know it is wrong, 

it has been a couple years since the crimes have been committed, which is one reason I am interested in urgencie, statutes 

only last for so long. I had complained about Craig Furguson saying, "Richard Pattison, Killeen Texas!". This is a bizzare 

case I admit from The beginning, but one that is factual. "Marge! Marge! Marge! Or is that? Kelly! Kelly! Kelly! Oh, I 

wanted the Magilla Gorilla!", was said on the Simpsons also. Let Me explain something here, I went to school with Richard 

Pattison and He knew I was I living in Killeen at the time Furguson did what He did. I was playing My guitar and singing 

when a Guy came walking into the area I had My tent set up, I was homeless for a spell, He was yelling My name just like it 

was said on the Simpsons. I was working for a good Freind of Mr. Pattisons at the time, He would have known exactly where 

I was. I told His Freind after I figured out what game They are playing, His name is Jon Peirson, to tell Him to say, "Eeaah." 

to prove what They are up to. It was said on Tyler Perrys show, "They said Grandpa Kelly says Eeaah.". This is not a hoax 

and has Me angered enough to take matters into My own hands. I really would rather have it handled in a manner that keeps 

Me from going to jail. This is an outrage, and highly insulting to My life. I thank You for Your time and await a positive 

response, sincerely"

 

Whaaaaaaaaaat.

[Zeusthecat]

Whaaaaaaaaaat.

 

Yeah, I read that one too and had to assume that person has been doing large quantities of acid for a really long time.

I thought this was going to be about the microtransaction strategy of The Simpsons: Tapped Out.

[Ucantalas]

Don't get me started on Tapped Out. I started "playing" it a few days ago. I hate all these microtransactions in games simply for the sake of having them.

[syntheticgerbil]

Killeen, Texas is just a stupid place.

[Thrik]

Tapped Out is disgusting. Stop playing it.

[TheLastBaron]

I thought I would play Tapped Out and just plant corn and check in once every 3 months. My corn was dead when I checked in.

[Ucantalas]

I only plant fresh, organic Tomacco.
