An executive producer of “The Simpsons” has responded to the claim by actor / producer Adi Shankar that the character Apu was going to be written out of the show. Al Jean tweeted yesterday that Shankar does not speak for the long running animated series, while avoiding any mention of what will happen to the owner of Springfield’s convenience store. More
There will be terrible repercussion for free speech in Hollywood if “The Simpsons” ends up folding to the PC police on this one. Here
As long as Bumblebee Man continues to fly under the radar, I’m cool.

Have not watched in decades, not 2 cares given
Maybe Groening is tired of the Simpsons. Appeasing leftists is a sure way to kill your show.
If there’s ever a Joe Biden cartoon series, Apu can run the Dunkin Donuts.
Gas and a lighter.
Never purposely watched a single episode
Apu….gesundheit!
All Fun Must be stopped by the order of loving Liberal’s who know best.
Don’t kill Apu off. If sanity ever returns to our nation he can come back.
If “The Simpsons” is still on television and no one is there to watch it, does it make a sound?
So how come the only group of people that it’s politically correct to make fun of is Southern rednecks?
Oh yeah, I forgot – because they’re the only ones who still have a sense of humor about themselves.
You’re either picking on Apu too much, or not enough.

Apu will be erased. His store will cease to exist as well. He will simply cease being. Unlike Mrs. Flanders, who at least got a decent Christian funeral.
Thank you for sharing my Apu story. I think the first few Simpsons seasons were pure genius. I tuned out a long time ago… just running on fumes now. That’s not the point, though. Best part of this? The fellow who started this kerfuffle isn’t happy with this solution. Because … Social Justice Warriors are never happy or satisfied.
Maybe it would be a good thing for Apu to bite the dust. Then all the fans can watch all the SJW’s patting themselves on the back and finally realize just how dangerous these assholes have become and start to fight back. While we’re on the subject of SJW douchebags has anyone actually wondered just how powerful they really are? Let the little pansies boycott a sponsor and just see whether they actually impact sales. If not they lose their power overnight.
Heh, I worked on that scene.
I agree with Christian. The first 5-6 seasons were incredibly funny, well written and current and appeased my Jr. High school humor. My sons and i watched every episode.
And killing off apu solves a problem only they think exists and eliminates a great voice.
After all these seasons of The Simpsons, I feel really good that, all total, I’ve only watched about 60 minutes combined. And none on purpose.
Do not cave to snowflakes, they will only include you in their lack of happiness.
