Bart Simpson Movie Slams Religion-Are We Surprised?

Posted by: David Bunch


The Bart Simpson movie has gone public with a 10 minute clip shown in London yesterday. And it is already creating controversy.

Takes a stab at religion:

The Simpsons also turn up late at church, where Homer's father has a seizure and warns of trouble to come. When asked to explain this behavior, Homer flicks through a Bible, and mutters: "This book doesn't have any answers."

Features a naked Bart:

Perhaps the biggest laugh was for Bart, who skateboards through town naked after being challenged to do so by Homer. After a series of scenes where strategically-placed extras and props protect his modesty, the audience gets a full view of his private parts through a gap in a hedge.

And what's this....Bono's son?

She (Bart's sister) may also find love, however, after she swoons upon meeting a fellow campaigner from Ireland who insists he is not the son of U2 frontman and celebrity campaigner Bono.

Great info. Thanks so much for insight into this cultural moment...
