Although the pioneer of cartoon flesh was Fritz the Cat, which in 1972 became the first animated feature to be rated "X," it was arguably Canada's own Heavy Metal that popularized it. The adult-oriented fantasy film has grown into a cult sensation since its big-screen debut in 1981, which was met with a "restricted" rating due to copious amounts of animated sex and nudity.
You have to keep in mind how well we have come to know Bart, and this new nude knowledge represents a small but meaningful extension of that," says [Kim Blank]. "Bart revealing himself is really us revealing ourselves.
John Alberti, a professor of English at Northern Kentucky University and recognized Simpsons scholar, says any ruffled feathers over such cartoon drawings demonstrates that "it's not the actual parts ...

I can't believe we're at 400 episodes," the creator of The Simpsons says in a recent Fox-produced video clip promoting the show's landmark season finale, which airs Sunday on Fox and Global. "It's mind boggling. It seems like we've only done 280, at most.
[Homer]'s tough-love parenting style and [Bart]'s 10-year-old subversive streak (fuelled by such catchphrases as "Don't have a cow, man" and "Eat my shorts!") prompted some observers to cite The Simpsons as evidence of American culture's continuing downward slide.
Signature line: Homer -- "Did you hear that, boy? 'Santa's Little Helper.' It's a sign. It's an omen." Bart -- "It's a coincidence.

In light of the preliminary BART study findings, FDA anticipates re-evaluation of the overall risks and benefits of Trasylol," the U.S. drug regulator said.
"This re-evaluation may result in the need to revise the labelling or other regulatory actions. Until this process has been completed, health-care providers who are considering use of Trasylol should be aware of the risks and benefits described in the labelling for Trasylol and the accumulating data suggesting Trasylol administration increases the risk for death compared to other antifibrinolytic drugs.
"Bayer will continue to work closely with medical experts, the FDA and health authorities in countries where Trasylol is marketed to re-evaluate the overall risk-benefit of the product and will evaluate the need for a label change ...

It'll just have the opposite effect," [Peter Bart] says. "I think everyone is going to be more and more frustrated because you can't predict it. That's the delicious irony.
"It's a little depressing, really," [Dade Hayes] says. "It's a testament to how efficient they are at marketing these things."
"It's kind of if you had a report card and the last subject said 'Fill in your own grade,' sometimes they give themselves an 'A,"' Hayes says.

The Wild West plot begins with Bad Bart's wedding and includes a murder, a hanging, and a final graveyard scene complete with giant RIP tombstones. But trouble starts right from the get-go when the dancers appear in papier-mâché masks that look way too much like Craft Projects 101. A chorus of five toothy skeletons appear like refugees from a Halloween party gone bad. There is a whiff of theatricality with black-veiled bride Sarah Morriss's final solo, but it's all too fleeting.
[Alex Eddington] makes a point of telling audiences he's not a trained actor, and that's one of Wool's few but notable problems. The writer's impeccable enunciation is more formal than conversational, and his reliance on written texts, however intentional, makes it harder to connect with the material.

Something like the [Mel Gibson] attack is the sort of situation that prompts an outbreak of ads," [Peter Bart] told The Associated Press. "It's a reminder that people like to editorialize personally, whether or not they know how to write.
On Aug. 3, comedian Rob Schneider, describing himself as "a 1/2 Jew," placed a full-page "open letter to the Hollywood community" in Daily Variety, vowing never to work with Gibson, whom he characterized as an "actor-director-producer and anti-Semite."
"It's a direct appeal to all the decision-makers who would have a point of view on this," he said. "The concept is very direct marketing and it's as old as the industry itself."
