Simpsons Bad; Baywatch Good

In certain communities, there seems to be a common misconception that animated shows and movies are strictly "for kids." And it appears that this stigma isn't exclusive to the U.S.

Despite excellent ratings, a Venzuelan TV station has dropped The Simpsons from a morning timeslot, deeming it "inappropriate for children." So what show is filling the slot? The much more kid-friendly Baywatch Hawaii.

The regulatory agency didn't specify which elements of the program were deemed offensive, but said showing the animated cartoon series at that hour could violate national regulations prohibiting "messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents."

Baywatch, on the other hand? Very educational.
