Watchout Ecuador!  The Simpsons, a show that has been on the air for two decades, may be corrupting your youth:

Teleamazonas said it would no longer be allowed to broadcast the often satirical exploits of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm, pending a government investigation.

A government-backed regulator will assess the program’s impact on “boys, girls and teenagers,” and wants to restrict its broadcast “to assure the protection” of younger audiences.

The article goes on to note that the show got shifted to 5:30 in the morning in the meantime and that a different channel was sanctioned last year for showing this corrupting yellow filth during family time.  I guess silly, paranoid, Helen Lovejoy types exist the world over.
