OK, when you look closely it’s a bunch of girls sucking gum off the bottom of a theater seat. This was part of a gag on last Sunday’s Simpson’s where a troupe of young ballerinas had a nicotine fit and started sucking gum from the bottom of the seats. But when you see it on a glance it looks close to obscene (in a comedic way). It’s amazing what they sneak past the censors.

The simpsons rule as usual
haahahah
Reminds me of all the sexual gags that Aeon Flux used to sweep past the censors years ago.
I remember quite vividly one scene that invloved lady Flux seducing a man and then the camera cutting to a heavily lubed piston pumping up and down. 😉
You should listen to the commentaries on the DVDs, they are always talking about the censors and how they are really picky on some things yet allow other things breeze by.
A common phrase on the commentaries is “How did we get that past the censors?”
I noticed that when the episode orginally aired. Also note that the girls are only doing it to the chairs of males. Not the doctor’s wifes chair. Of course that is only because there was no gum on that seat.
On a related note, the original title to the South Park movie was something like “Back out of Hell.” The censors didn’t like the word “hell” in the movie title, so Trey and Matt came up with “Bigger, Longer and Uncut.”
The idiot censors agreed that it was a good compromise, not recognizing the phallic reference right away. It wasn’t until some time later that the censors said, “hey… wait!”
“Too late, we’ve got your approval in writing.”
LOL! That’s awesome! MY Jaw hit the floor at first then I realized what it really was. I’m betting it was an accidentally twice as funny as it was sup[posed to be.

That reminds me of the tricks Hitchcock used to run on censors back in the day. The most famous one was behind the shower scene in Psycho.
Upon the first viewing the censors said he had to either cut the scene or alter it because it graphically showed a knife going in and out of a woman’s body (of course, it actually didn’t it was just the product of their imagination and Hithcocks brilliant film making).
A few weeks later he sent the SAME EXACT CUT back to them and said that he fixed it up. They of course approved of this “new cut” and the movie was released. Hah!

It just shows that they were so “desensitized” by the first time they saw it that the second time it seemed milder. Ban everything
When I saw this at a glance I saw girls kissing chair seats. I guess it depends on where your mind is.
It is interesting that most of them are going after seats that have guys in them.
To quote the great Tom Lehrer,
“When correctly viewed, everything is lewd.”
Pfftt.. Didn’t spongebob gave the middlefinger in a cartoon while he was counting something?
The last time I got a BJ from a cartoon character I got ink all over my dick. I’ll never do that again.
“Won’t someone think of the children?!?”
Now we know what Bart meant!!!!
Eat my shorts!!!

So you blew an octopus?
It’s also funny that the Reverend and his wife, who get no action, are aghast. On the video the exaggerated sucking the girls do makes it worse than this screen capture. The only other scene from years ago that baffled me in regard to the censors was Kinner telling someone that they are going to have to “cut my ball sack.” He, was, of course, stuck in a big sack of basketballs. Family Guy seems to be in the process of topping many of these jokes. Recently Stewie did some major homosexual material with references to “tea-bagging” and other sketchy references. FOX is obviously in on the gags.
#17 – Skinner was stuck in a basketball sack, after being tied up by the students, and he asked the school mascot, a gerbil, to “Chew through my ball sack”.
Also famous: when Grandpa Simpson became a matador and managed to defeat the bull, the newspaper headline the next day read, “Old man beats meat”.
I love the Simpsons.
Since the censors are self appointed and are looking more for illegal than immoral content, Fox will do whatever it can to boost its ratings. After all, the Right wing nuts love Fox, so they have to have sex in it.
