Mahmoud vs. Bart

The government of Iran has banned the Simpsons. Homer, Bart and company have been declared unacceptable by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad & Co. for their blatant presentation of the American way of life.

Spiderman and Superman are okay with Mahmoud and the Mullahs (sounds like a 1960s rock group) because they appear to be supernatural forces aiding humanity.

No word so far on Blondie, Garfield or Rex Morgan, M.D.

Wonder Woman, however, is definitely out. It is believed that the sight of the super heroine, minus bhurka, could lead, among young Iranian men, to an uprising.
