news of this week....

French First Lady Carla Bruni has been portrayed as a sex-mad femme fatale on an episode of the Simpsons.
The former supermodel and husband President Nicolas Sarkozy are the cartoon stars of the episode called The Devil Wears Nada which celebrates 20 years of the hit U.S. show.
Bruni is lampooned as a chain-smoking man-eater who flirts with Homer Simpson's colleague Carl when the pair are invited to reception at the Elysee Palace in Paris

'You're getting cosy with Sarkozy': The Simpsons versions of Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy



Smoking: Cartoon Carla tells Homer's friend Carl she wants to 'make love, right now'

Dressed in a low-cut ball gown, Bruni corners Carl and announces: 'I want to make love, right now.'
Homer then warns Carl that Bruni is the president's wife, telling him: 'You know that woman you've been playing 'hide the baguette' with? That's the First Lady of France, Carla Bruni!'


To prove it, Homer phones Sarkozy's office.'Hello, you are getting cosy with Sarkozy,' he says jovially into the phone.

This leaves me to question how such institions can create a programe displaying mockery of the couple. Also should this type of content be in a cartoon programe watched by many younger viewers.What has media come to? entertainment? possibly, but it puts aside all other morality.
