The Simpsons: 14 Most Controversial Episodes Of All Time
8. A Streetcar Named Marge
Obviously not limited to incurring wrath from the other side of the world, in A Streetcar Named Desire the show stuck to offending people on their own home turf with a little musical ditty about The Big Easy. Marge gets a part in a musical version of Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire featuring a certain number that calls New Orleans a home of pirates, drunks and whores, naturally prompting many N'awlins natives to express their disapproval. If The Simpsons reaction to the citys criticism is anything to go by, its worse pi**ing off New Orleans than Fox News: then Fox president Jamie Kellner was forced to issue an apology statement and the following weeks episode featured a hastily produced scene with Bart scribing the words I will not defame New Orleans in the shows opening blackboard gag.
