"I would really like a military dictatorship like the one of Juan Perón. When he made you disappear, you stayed disappeared!" Carl proclaims in the episode. The comment occurs during a beer-fueled discussion about politics in Moe’s Tavern.

It was in fact, not Perón’s regime but a 1976-83 military dictatorship following his rule that disappeared 30,000 Argentine citizens. The show isn’t due to air in Argentina until June or July, but clips of the scene posted to YouTube have already been viewed over 120,000 times.

The director of COMFER, Gabriel Mariotto, won’t acquiesce to Pepe’s demand, deciding that "Argentine society has matured and it would be irrational" to censure the episode. This would appear to be the last word on the matter as COMFER is the government agency tasked with regulating radio and television in Argentina.

Lorenzo Pepe isn’t the only government official in Latin America fighting against The Simpsons . Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez recently took the popular series off of the air in his country, calling the show “inappropriate” for children. The series apparently ran afoul of a law which prohibits “messages that go against the education of boys, girls and adolescents.”

In Venezuela the series has been replaced by re-runs of Baywatch Hawaii .
