Yes, you heard me. That Homer Simpson is the most reliable nuclear safety inspector you'll ever find with the willingness to defect. He's responsible for keeping America's nuclear power plants safe and running without a single incident. Let me repeat that: NOT. A SINGLE. INCIDENT. His record is absolutely clean and his capability beyond that of any worker Iranian OR American.
Trust me, if you hire this guy to monitor your uranium enrichment program; maybe bribe him with donuts, pay for him a full 270-channel cable hookup or give him a talking pet monkey, I can guarantee he can do wonderful things to your nuclear program. Very wonderful things.
I don't like The Simpsons, and I wouldn't want a kid to watch the show. But I have difficulty imagining that the toys will have a significant impact in promoting the show and thereby allowing it to corrupt Iranian children with insidious Western ideas. Especially if the show doesn't air on Iranian TV networks and YouTube et al are blocked.
Plus I require a whole lot more justification for having government step in than the exposure of children to contrary ideas. Not that I'm surprised the Iranian government disagrees.
As I said, I really don't think toys for a blocked American series would have enough of an effect to justify making a policy about them - especially when other American characters are hailed as heroes. Perhaps the Iranian public also values toys entirely too much and would revolt if they banned Superman and Spider-Man, so the government is just waiting for a chance to finish the job.
