The Simpsons slammed for ‘hateful’ parody of star

didn’t specifically call out Morrissey, all of the clues were there. Last night’s episode, titled “Panic on the Streets of Springfield,” featured a plot line in which an 8-year-old Lisa discovers the music of “moody post-punk” artist Quilloughby on the streaming service Slapify.Apu actor apologises for ‘racist’ Simpsons portrayal

Led to Quilloughby by a link that read “If you hate everything, you might like this,” Lisa quickly falls in love with everything about Quilloughby and his band, The Snuffs, who “dominated the ’80s indie scene with their brand of literate, sardonic music that focused on Quilloughby’s obsessions, especially his militant vegetarianism.”

After taking Quilloughby on as her imaginary friend, Lisa brings him with her to see Springfield’s Bummershoot Festival, where The Snuffs are performing for the first time in decades. Lisa and the younger version of Quilloughby watch in horror at his future self, who in 2021 says that he’s only bringing his band back together as a “cash grab.

His character adds, “That’s right, I hate the foreign! Coming to this country and taking our jobs! Sleeping with our men!” and performs from his solo album, Refugees? Again? The Quilloughby of the ’80s is appalled. “Is this what I turned into? I’m greedy, I’m hateful, and my face looks like a syphilitic moon!” he says.

In response to last night’s episode, Morrissey’s manager Peter Katsis called out The Simpsons for “trying to capitalize on cheap controversy and expounding on vicious rumors” in a statement published on Morrissey’s officialpage. He added, “When a show stoops so low to use harshly hateful tactics like showing the Morrissey character with his belly hanging out of his shirt makes you wonder who the real hurtful, racist group is here.

oh my god 🤣 has he met himself?😂😂

He's have a case if he wasn't so greedy, hateful and racist.

Simpsons not been funny for almost 20 years. Is time for them to be put down.
