simpsons subliminal messages 2010 ————————– “colonel kang, your report.” “ah, well, the earthlings continue to resent our presence. You said we’d be greeted as liberators.” “don’t worry, we still have the people’s hearts and minds.” “i don’t know, i’m starting to think operation enduring occupation was a bad idea.” “we had to invade, they were working on weapons of mass disintegration!” “sure they were.” “this sure is a lot like iraq will be.” Source: www.animationmagazine.net
Thru the whole thing they make no mention of Iraq, but you know it is … adding the ‘iraq’ comment on the end , was overkill, ruins the joke.. the point they are trying to make. So im glad they cut it, funnier and more hard hitting without it, because it doesnt just have to be about iraq, there are many many hell holes with wars and such on earth at the moment, Not many quiet as blantlently fucked up as iraq but still… And by mentioning a place name, automaticly sides them to a point of view.
It was one line! They weren’t censoring the main message which was crystal clear clear, the Iraq war was stupid! I think the last line would have detracted from the Simpsons satirical style which is to emulate the world they see around them in order to point out the flaws in society.
lol is the fallout 3 music in the actual episode?
1:03 lol fallout3 xDDD
FALL OUT 3!
your eyes are open
obvious
@MortalKombat01A nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING subliminal about that message. The only thing even remotely subliminal may be the story of the censorship that accompanied it. So again, let me ask you: do YOU understand what “subliminal” means now? Do you realize how much of a stuckup douchefuck you just made yourself look like? Having Jesus in your YouTube picture doesn’t always make you the good guy.
@MortalKombat01A Where exactly does a prick like you get off with saying it’s something I “may understand?” Let me quote calcrize word-for-word here: “That word, ’subliminal’. I do not think it means what you think it means. That was liminal messaging. It was? blatant. Nothing subliminal about it.” So let me ask you: what is it that YOU don’t understand? A subliminal message is far more subtle than blatantly speaking whatever sentence they’re trying to say and then having it censored. There is
That word, ’subliminal’. I do not think it means what you think it means. That was liminal messaging. It was blatant. Nothing subliminal about it.
Satire is suppose to be subtle. It’s not really funny when they flat out tell you what’s going on.
i don’t think you know what ’subliminal’ means
You didn’t get it? Here is something you may understand: The pre-aired version contained “this sure is a lot like iraq will be.” While the version they aired, it did not have that phrase. Censorship would be more exact than subliminal message.
what exactly was “subliminal” here?
Hmmmm………
how is the name of the song in ends to the episode
lol the music iz fro fallout 3 on 1:34
?????
omg theres a war in iraq!?!?!?!
Thank you, I do not know why this war is to kill innocent people and media also support this war in Iraq indirectly
fk u guys lol
Nothing subliminal about it. This is one great big giant ‘fuck you cunt’ at Bush and the war on Iraq.
My reasoning for the last line being cut, the point was well and clearly made. It would be overkill to make the comment about Iraq. Think back to some of the jingoism that followed September 11 (the WWF Smackdown on September 13th and JAG for example) for an idea on how the pro war pro bombing terrorist countries into parking lots might be pushed past making a point and beat a dead horse.
i dont want to set the world on fire
sllab kcus uoy…. spell it backwords faggot
They actually aired this version of the episode when it was first aired in europe. After that,the one line was censored.
