Our Short, Four Fingered, National Nightmare is Finally Over

Nine days, six hours and thirteen million lame, inaccurate stories  
later, a Venezuelan TV station is running The Simpson’s again—Hooray!  
You’ll remember that regulators originally asked Televen to move the  
show outside of morning-time children’s viewing hours, but instead the  
station dramatically pulled it from their lineup (for a week) and sent  
out a press release about how repressed they were. Now of course it’s  
back and running at 7 p.m. and all the stupid English language media  
outlets apologized for getting the story so wrong. Just kidding! Shit  
like this is running instead:

     Venezuela's president Hugo Chavez has u-turned on his decision to  
ban The Simpsons from TV - allowing the popular U.S. cartoon to be  
shown at a later time.

Sigh. Chavez…always with the Chavez.
