Spot the offense. Is it the desaparecidos comment? That fact that Eva Peron wasn’t mentioned but Madonna was? Maybe it’s the idea that Argentina and other Latin American nations have a history of less than democratic governments?
One Argentine legislator wants the episode banned, following in the footsteps of Venezuela, who has banned not one episode but the whole damn show because of it’s moral quality (or lack thereof).

Los Simpsons Don’t Live In Venezuela

In Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, boobs bouncing in bathing suits is more appropriate at 11 am than the Simpsons.
The country’s TV regulator said the saga of Homer Simpson, wife Marge and their three children flouted regulations that prohibit “messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents”.
It said that some unspecified complaints had been received from viewers.
Televen’s manager may decide to show The Simpsons, which has been dubbed into Spanish, at another time of day.
It’s not even the original Baywatch replacing the popular cartoon family, it’ Baywatch Hawaii, a later incarnation of the lifeguard rescue show which started in 1989.
