The Supreme Board of Radio and Television (RTÜK) has fined Turkish private TV channel CNBC-E a total of 52,951 Turkish Liras for airing an episode of the animated sitcom ‘ The Simpsons ‘ in which God is shown to be under the command of the Devil.

Istanbul / Turkey – RTÜK statement justifies this idiotic move like that : The fine had been levied due to CNBC-E “making fun of God, encouraging the young people to exercise violence by showing the murders as God’s orders and encouraging them to start drinking alcohol on New Year’s Eve night.”

‘One of the characters in the animated sitcom is abusing another one’s religious belief to make him commit murders. The bible is publicly burned in one scene and God and the Devil are shown in human bodies,’ so says the unbeliavable RTÜK report.

In another scene of Simpsons, God serves coffee to the Devil, which can be considered an insult to religious beliefs, according to the report, which explained the motive behind the fine.

“The Simpsons” is the longest-running American sitcom and longest-running animated program in the USA. Simpsons is in its 24th season. The Supreme Board of Radio and Television in Turkey is 18 years old.
