2. "Blame It On Lisa"
As well as angering the people of Australia, the Simpsons also caused a stir in Brazil with the 2002 episode "Blame It On Lisa". After depicting Australians as "backwards" and lawless people, the show's writers created further controversy by portraying Brazil as a rat-infested criminal wasteland populated by monkeys and kidnappers, while the police were shown to be lazy and unhelpful, and Brazilian men bisexual. So enraged were the Brazilian government by this episode that its tourism board even threatened the show with legal action, though none was taken after executive producer James Brooks
publicly apologised.
