"It seems the agency in question told the TV station Televen about viewer complaints about the inappropriateness of "The Simpsons" for what they call "horario infantil" on January 30, asking them to move it to a different slot. The TV station in question didn´t do anything for two months, which is when CONATEL (the agency responsible) acted, and the TV station, instead of moving "The Simpsons" to a different slot, just yanked it and replaced it with Baywatch. "The Simpsons" as well as "The Family Guy" are showed in PG-13 slots on TV in most Latin American countries (Mexico, for example: chronic disrespect for parents is considered a "mature" theme), but somehow they never make it to the "news", unlike anything having to do with Venezuela. In fact, one major TV station here in Spain moved the "The Family Guy" from a daytime slot to a nighttime slot for the same reason. The irony here is that the TV station in question (Televen) has a mostly middle class audience, and the complaints almost certainly came from people who are sympathetic to the opposition. In fact, the opposition internet site Noticias24 actually supported CONATEL's decision. Another irony is that Venezuela's ministry of Information has in the recent past organized a conference on "The Simpsons" (it goes without saying that they are sympathetic to the show as such, just don't think it is appropriate to 13 yr old children."
