Gahh!! How could they?? But according to news reports, the banning is official. “The Simpsons” has been banned by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez because the animated TV show is “unsuitable for children.” The long-running cartoon has been replaced after Chavez deemed it contained “messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents.”

Elba Guillen, a spokesperson for Televen TV, the Venezuelan network that airs “The Simpsons” says, “It had to be taken off. The government considers it to be a series that isn’t appropriate for that time because it isn’t appropriate for children.” Oh-kayyy.. But if South Park is airing in Venezuela, I demand re-institution of “The Simpsons”! Hehe!

On May 10th, 2007, this video was banned in Congress. Robert Greenwald, the director of IRAQ FOR SALE, was invited to testify before Congress by Rep. Jim Moran. He prepared four minutes from the documentary for showing in the Congress. Republicans insisted this not be shown. Why? Go watch!

The Advertising Standards Authority is putting Eidos under fire for violent posters advertising Kane & Lynch: Dead Men for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in the UK. Eidos says as soon as complaints were made of the posters, they were replaced with alternative designs. A poster, two magazine adverts and a TV ad received a number of complaints from the public, citing scenes of disturbing violence, which were perceived to condone violence, particularly towards women.

The majority of the 26 complaints were about a poster depicting two men and a woman. The latter was seating the foreground, bound and gagged. One of the men was holding her head back by the hair, wearing surgical gloves and speaking into a mobile phone. The other man held a rifle, standing behind the first. A quote, identified as being from Official Xbox 360 Mag, appeared on the poster, stating: “Grittier and nastier in tone than anything you’ve seen before, the violence here is visceral, brutal and very, very real.”

The supermodel’s latest tantrum got her banned from traveling with British Airways (BA). If you haven’t heard, Naomi Campbell has assaulted a police officer last week over lost baggage. She was then arrested (April 3) inside Heathrow’s Terminal 5. Her camp has pleaded with the company to retract their ban. Her rep says, “Naomi has been flying with BA for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved amicably.”

But British Airways is firm with their decision. A source says, “Banning her will send out a worldwide signal that such behavior is totally unacceptable. The decision was not taken lightly. She is a valued customer. But it is unthinkable for BA to talk about the safety of staff and passengers being our priority, then let her off. Her behavior was absolutely shocking. She abused our staff and police.” Can I say, “Serves her right!” now??

Almost but not quite! Hehe! Here’s another sexy and fun commercial from Bud Light. Enjoy!

Citing the consequences of solariums or tan beds (and that’s SKIN CANCER boys and girls), a law has been proposed in Western Australia that states that people with very fair skin and teenagers will be BANNED in using solariums in at least one state in the country. The step has been taken to stop vulnerable people from developing cancer as WA Health Minister Jim McGinty said that there was mounting evidence of a link between cancer and solariums.

“There are no health benefits whatsoever, no therapeutic benefits from the use of solaria. But there is a very big downside,” News.com.au quoted McGinty, as saying. Under the regulations, people with very fair skin (skin type one), would not be allowed to use them because of their “extreme risk” of developing cancer. People under 18 would also be banned, and educational material would have to be available at solarium centres. Guess hot Aussie chicks can say bye-bye to their gorgeous tans now! o_O

Here’s a GREAT video to brighten up your Sunday guys! =) Enough of banned stuff for a moment.. Hehe! Enjoy this impromptu performance in a foodcourt!
