#9 Who's going to voice the main characters? They're not white, they're bright yellow.

It gets even worse: The character of Bart Simpson is currently voiced by Nancy Cartwright, a person of the female persuasion. You are, no doubt, as horrified by this as I am.

I gotta ask: WTF is the matter with people for them to care about such nonsense?
