The Simpsons: 14 Most Controversial Episodes Of All Time
13. Sunday, Cruddy Sunday
Getting on the Catholic Leagues bad side isnt exactly a major feat: they seem to take issue with anything that isnt in line with their way of thinking, and over the past few decades theyve complained about everything from Joan Osbournes one hit wonder One of Us to George W. Bushs use of holiday instead of Christmas on the White Houses official festive greetings cards. So a scene in Sunday, Cruddy Sunday of a mock Super Bowl advert featuring three scantily clad young ladies, one with a crucifix necklace dangling provocatively in her cleavage, accompanied by a voiceover saying The Catholic Church weve made a few changes was bound to ruffle a few religious feathers. After a flood of complaints, the Fox Network bowed to pressure and removed all references to Catholicism in the scene, changing the line to simply The church and thereby mocking all western religions rather than just one.
