Americans apparently know more about "The Simpsons" than they do about the First Amendment.

Only one in four Americans can name more than one of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment (freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition for redress of grievances.) But more than half can name at least two members of the cartoon family, according to a survey.

Someone should make a cartoon about the First Amendment . . .

:D

[proud gonzo]

heh

[sooner n houston]

That is truely amazing, what with all the brilliant liberals in this country! :D :D

[picasso]

I'm proud to say I've never watched more than 10 minutes of the Simpsons.

[crawfish]

I could've only gotten four, but I can list off at least a dozen Simpson's characters.

Figures.

[crawfish]

By the way, it's not "freedom of religion", it's "separation of Church and State".

Who put that pole together anyway, faux news? :mad:

[skycat]

I don't think I've ever petitioned for redress of grievances in my life.

And boy howdy, do I have grievances.:mad:

[Okla-homey]

And boy howdy, do I have grievances.:mad:

maybe not, but you are benefitted every day of your life from grievances brought by others throughout American history.

The constitution only says Congress shall make no law establishing an official religion. That whole "separation of church and state" dealio is still pretty debatable.

BTW, a strict reading of the first amendment permits states to establish religions...which many had done by 1789. How 'bout them apples?:eek:

You've got admit though, The Simpsons is a pretty cool show.

I think it's ironical that without the First Ammendment, the Simpsons may or may not be allowed to air.

[Viking Kitten]

Ooh. That was deep, Pat.

[Fugue]

Ooh. That was deep, Pat.

you know how he'll respond to that. don't encourage him/her. :mad:

I was actually going to let that one go.

[Fugue]

Joke overload.

I didn't expect VK to leave herself wide open like that.

How many people have I set up in this thread? Do I get credit for assists or what?

NO KITTY, THAT'S A BAAAD KITTY!!!!

This isn't that unusual, really. I remember hearing about a study done in Japan where only something like 10% of the people recognized their National Anthem, while a much, much larger number recognized the theme to a popular video game.

[Cartman's Mom] Well I know a certain kitty kitty who's sleeping with mommy tonight! [/Cartman's Mom]

BTW, It's my Fourth Amendement Right to be able to quote the first season of South Park pretty much verbatim.
