Homer Simpson is known for munching doughnuts and swigging beer, but the Department of Health has decided that his family’s lifestyle is healthy enough to enlist them in an anti-obesity campaign.
The government is to sponsor episodes of the cartoon serial about the dysfunctional family for three months in an attempt to improve the nation’s diet and increase exercise levels.
God all fucking mighty. They're interfering with cartoons on TV now. What next?
Officials hope that families slumped in front of the Channel 4 programme will see a reflection of themselves in The Simpsons and realise they should probably be taking more care of their health.
Tut! Families not doing what the Department of Health wants? We can't have that!
What, you think I'm joking?
Gillian Merron, the public health minister, said: “The Simpsons are a much-loved, close-knit family facing some of the everyday challenges that modern-day families go through. They provide a popular and engaging way to get the message to real-life families about simple ways of improving their diet and activity for a healthier lifestyle.”
The health department acknowledges that the Simpsons’ lifestyle is not entirely healthy and this is reflected in the slogan for the £640,000 advertising campaign: “Supporting The Simpsons: Sometimes.”
A spokeswoman added: “The beer-drinking and doughnut-eating is clearly not what we would want.”
You hear that? People drinking beer and eating doughnuts is not what the Department of Health wants. And of course, how you live your life is entirely up to them, as far as they're concerned. How very dare you disagree with the voice of authority.
Ye fucking gods.

These people clearly have no sense of humour. Could someone please spell it out to them what an Anti-Hero is ?
PS I tried the NHS Choose & Book the other day, their " system had crashed " but she promised to call me back. She didn't.
