So I find out today that Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, has lent her voice recording to a robo-call for a scientology event.

Nancy Cartwright Can Eat My Shorts Man!

I can’t for the life of me figure out why she would do such a thing.  So she is a Scientologist.  Big deal.  I can only think of 3 possible scenarios:

1. She did the recording not knowing how it was going to be used.  Ok, fine.  I still don’t think she should have even done the recording but lets just pretend she did it with no knowledge.  I truly hope this is what happened and someone took advantage of her.  I can forgive that.  Make it known and I will recind my Doh!
2. She did know what she was doing and did it without permission of FOX, Matt Groening, et. al.  If this is the case then I hope they sue the shit out of her, fire her, then sue her some more.  If this is the case I refuse to watch the show again until she is no longer a part of it.  The voice of a cartoon is replacable.
3. She did it with permission from FOX, Matt Groening, et. al.  If that is the case then there isn’t much I can hope for.  My days of watching are over.

I don’t know that this is all that big of a deal.  The show has definately been going down hill for some time.  There are moments of past greatness.  The voice acting is still top notch.  I think it is the writing that has been suffering lately.  The movie sucked.  So I won’t be all that heartbroken if I am forced to endure the end of my Simpsons watching career.  I just wish it was happening on a happier note.
