Lou Gehrig should not be made fun of like that-not that I'm trying to say that the were, but it isn't a good example to kids-showing how to act towards a hero to many when the goin' got tough. They should be very ashamed of theirselves!!!!!!!!!! I am very displeased in what the creators of the Simpsons did with that historical day.

I think they honoured him in that way - honestly do you think nowadays childrens still know such things? I don't think so. Therefore I think it's okay. (I.e. why damn this one but find others acceptable? Which very well might hurt other peoples feeeling too? IMHO one has to be able to laugh about him/herself ;) ) I think you two are seeing it from the wrong perspective.

The man was dying a slow and painful death, and all you can do is make it into a cartoon?! That is truely upseting and disgusting!
