Do they not rerun this one anymore?
Stark Raving Dad - Wikipedia https://share.google/bkT2WOa5qDZKeQICR
Essentially corporate censorship for fear of maybe offending someone.
One excerpt I enjoyed reading.
Side note, why does this link above go through Google? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stark_Raving_Dad
Android browser share button doesn't copy the URL as shown. It prefixes the title to the clipboard content to help hide (behind "too long text") that it secretly, unprompted, uses the share.google link shortener / tracking service.
I got bit by it within the last week. Fuck that feature.
I think it used to have a way to actually copy the URL, but most mobile browsers are making that harder for a variety of reasons.
I recommend Firefox for Android, share works normally, and you can install extensions. I have one for ad blocking and one to keep YouTube running even when I minimize the browser or lock the screen.
I have FF installed, and set it as my default. (It's what links from Tusky use, at least.) I just happened to use the OS search bar which always (?) uses the Android browser.
I have UBO installed on FF because it's the only way browsing the web leaves any content visible anymore.
Ah right, I had that issue too.
To avoid it I use the Lawnchair 3rd party launcher with a 5x5 grid, and placed a Firefox "search the web" Widget on the top row. Admittedly it's not perfect, I encountered a few bugs in Lawnchair before (though not recently), but it still annoyed me less than the default.
Switch to firefox. They're assholes too but at least no google tracking BS and you can install ublock origin

This is a decades old story.
The show runners themselves pulled the episode because the thought of Jackson using The Simpsons to get to kids was "icky" to put it lightly.
Calling it corporate censorship, is just bullshit.
Not even remotely true. Disney pulled the episode in March 2019 after the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland premiered.
Doesn't change the fact it was the production staff of the Simpsons that pulled the episode. Not Disney,
Correct. We don't need to make stuff up to hate Disney, there's plenty enough to hate already
Death of the author, Brooks. You don't get to tear a page out of an already published book.
That said, Disney's decision not to show that episode is a separate one. Both parties suck tbh
I hope to fuck you're including the pedophile in that.
? I'm talking about the production staff and Disney, both of whom independently decided to toss the episode in the memory hole
Aww dude.
The news corporations had a major hand in framing Michael Jackson - who was literally innocent. So if the creators removed someone because corporate made money by pretending he is guilty, it is corporate censorship.

and people will blame the wokes/DEI/whatever
They famously took it off the air years ago because of the Michael Jackson stuff, but I don't know if that has changed.
It has not on the high seas. Also Disney shows the old 4:3 episodes in 16:9, cropping away like 30% of the image. I hate the way corpos rape art and culture.
You can get it to display them in 4:3, if you go to details (alongside the episodes and suggested tabs) and uncheck "Remastered aspect ratio"
