This past Sunday's "Simpsons" episode took a pot shot at
veggietales.
The scene is that the dog has swallowed the remote and changes the
channel every time it hiccups, and they are showing the TV as it
changes channels. One of the channels shows a tomato with a goatee
and a crown of thorns carrying a cross, led by a carrot in roman
soldier uniform, and another carrot soldier following him and
whipping him several times. The narrator of the show says, "we
return to Mel Gibson's 'The Salad of the Christ' (the title is also
shown on the screen) on Christian Carrot Theater."
My wife, who also saw it, immediately said, "That was rude!"
While I am upset by the satire, on the other hand, it says that
VeggieTales is now well know enough and a big enough target for the
Simpsons to make fun of.
