...and less like The Simpsons. Seriously, I thought we'd gotten all the moral outrage out of the way back in the early 90's.

Venezuelan TV is known for filling its schedules with re-runs of old US series and Latin American soap operas. But it also includes a talk show hosted by the country's president, Hugo Chavez.

In an episode of the weekly programme last year, the Venezuelan leader gave a speech which reportedly lasted eight hours. An abridged version of the show has been broadcast every day since February 2007.

This is good news; of memory, hearing, all the faculties—the last to leave us is sexual desire and the ability to make love. That means that long after we’re wearing bifocals or hearing aids, we’ll be making love. But we won’t know with whom or why. -- Jack Paar

Was the air conditioning in the room turned way up?  Maybe he could be the new William Henry Harrison.  I'm reaching, I know...

So the Simpsons isn't suitable for children but Baywatch is? Huh

I hate morons, especially the stupid ones.

Hah, he's not got the time for it. He's off in the states giving speeches on American Idol.

I am not one of those people who believes that God is involved in politics. On the contrary. Observe politics in this country. Observe politics around the world. Observe politics through history. Does it look like God's involved?

In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

Well, Chávez did send order his troops to the Colombian border on that TV programme of his, live, on national TV, when the crisis between Ecuador and Colombia started. I don't think I really need to talk too much about Chávez - he's just... y'know, the kind of person who bans the Simpsons for being "unsuitable for children". But he rules a country.

"While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn
He'll never return it
So when you come back
We'll have to make new love"

I died laughing when I read this.

Dear Venezuelans: you will never see South Park or Family Guy.  Decide which of these is biggest pity for yourselves.
