We all have a good laugh at how stupid other people can be, but it is only a small step before it becomes "Faces of Death". That is the nature of a successful moral panic, you're afraid to even breath lest some cry "Ye be a Witch, Burn Ye" What about Funniest Home Videos?

I'm very sure there are heaps more "child abuse" material than the Simpsons. Sooner or later anyone who even "watches" it will be criminally charged with "accessing" child abuse material and will have to serve ten years imprisonment. `:/ What about shows like Family Guy and South Park?
