I have to say, this makes me lose respect for some of the Simpson's creators. They were insulting MJ and that's just BS. They worked with him and Michael was so happy to be a part of the show. He's the sweetest man and would never dog them like that on TV. In the interview with Dan Castellaneta, Dan explains that MJ was shy and that's why it was awkward for the others while they were waiting for him. Dan doesn't trash MJ like these guys.

But MJ had vitiligo for many years prior to this episode. And he wasn't crazy either, so what you're saying is totally moot.

I really wish they hadn't talked so badly about MJ... And no, not everyone was making jokes about him before he died, he still had billions of fans.

I've always heard the saying "you have a face for radio", the typical DJ/radio personality tend to be charismatic individuals that are just as entertaining and appealing off-radio. It appears the same is not true for voice actors.

Wow. Here I was thinking that no Michael Jackson joke had offended anyone since 1995.

[Michael Jackson]

I must say, I'm not very impressed!

Im a big Harry Shearer fan but he disappointed me here. MJ forever.

[jewelscorbin]

Nope. I sure didn't. No real fan would have either.

So. Cartoon voice actors are sooooo 'above' everyone that they feel it's not only appropriate to openly talk trash about their colleagues, but it's also appropriate to make fun of someone's DISEASE? I knew there was a reason that I stopped watching The Simpsons 10 years ago and never allowed my kids to watch any of the episodes that were made in the last 10 years either.
