I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.

    In France, advertising alcohool brands on TV is heavily restricted. It wasn’t a problem in the Simpsons since Duff was not a real brand of beer.

    When Duff became a real brand, French TV had to blur every Duff logo and beep out every “Duff” pronounced on screen. Some episodes became unwatchable, Duffman became beepman, every beer became blurry…

      Considering Duffman’s signature hip movements and the funky Ohhh yeaaah~ music that always plays whenever he arrives, someone who doesn’t know Duff is supposed to be a beer might get a very wrong idea about his job.

      Clearly needs more state regulations. People can’t be trusted to know what they want to watch and see with their eyes

        Yes, alcoholism isn’t real and if it were we shouldn’t make it easier for people who try to quit.
