... One of the more controversial issues it had dealt with is violence on television, especially in cartoons. In one episode, “Itchy and Scratchy and Marge,” Marge protests against the television show “Itchy and Scratchy” and explains how vulgar and horrid the show is, and she continues to protest until the show got kicked off the air. However, Marge supports Michelangelo’s David when it comes into Springfield, and the rest of town, still being overzealous with the protest against indecency and inhumane acts, become infuriated with Marge, and she is asked how she “can be for one form of freedom of expression and against the other,” and after she explains that she cannot, “Itchy and Scratchy” all of a sudden returns back to its violent form on television. Is Marge Simpson not right for what she did? Did she go against the moral dictates of society for only supporting one of the protests?
Though some people think that Marge may be wrong for protesting one form of speech while supporting another, I believe that she should be allowed to do this. Marge, or anyone for that matter, should be allowed to disagree with one form of free speech and simultaneously agree with another. This is mainly because that out of the two or more forms of free speech that may be present there is a possibility that one or more of the forms can seem to be fit and acceptable in our society.
