There is a difference between being uptight and being respectful.

You can't completely avoid the towers as they are part of our history, but you also can't just brush off what happened to them. Because it's not the towers, it's the people inside, and what happened to them, and what happened to us.

I mean, come on, to a lot of people, America was violated. Heck, the whole world in a way, since it was the WTC. To a lot of people, that overrides the artistic/comedic value of something like the Simpsons and makes it totally un-entertaining. So why air it? Have a little patience; this needs the distance of time.

Again, I can change the channel, but I think there may be good reasons for choosing not to air it in the first place.
