Simpsons Producers Deny Scientology Endorsement
January 29th, 2009
Producers of ‘The Simpsons’ have been forced to deny an endorsement of Scientology, after Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, used the character to invite participants to a Scientology conference where she is set to speak.
The voicemail message came to light after a recipient posted the audio of Cartwright, a known Scientologist, on YouTube.
“Yo, what’s happenin’ man, this is Bart Simpson,” she says in that unmistakable voice. “Haha Just kidding! Don’t hang up, this is Nancy Cartwright.”
Executive producer of the hit animated series, Al Jean, issued a statement to E! News saying, “‘The Simpsons’ does not, and never has, endorsed any religion, philosophy or system of beliefs any more profound than Butterfinger bars.”

Scientologists Vicki Dunstan and Kate Ceberano, and Scientology management, all seem certain to demand huge damages payouts, and an apology, after an Australian television network reported that they are liars.
Dunstan, Ceberano and the Church have repeatedly denied that Scientology’s upper levels teach that the world’s problems are caused by people being infested with “body-thetans” – the harmful spirits implanted by the actions of the ancient galactic warlord “Xenu”.
Channel Seven, on their Today Tonight program, reported that those denials are lies, because the “body-thetans” teachings are a component of upper-level Scientology. Channel Seven backed up their claims with documents, the accounts of ex-scientologists, and the recorded words of Scientology founder, L Ron Hubbard.
Calling someone a liar, as Channel Seven did, is defamatory.
The only reason possible reasons that Dunstan, Ceberano or Scientology could possibly fail in defamation suits are these:
(a) Dunstan, Ceberano and Scientology’s reputations are so low that nothing anyone could say about them could lower their reputations further
or
(b) Dunstan, Ceberano and the Church of Scientology management really ARE liars.
The Church of Scientology has a rock-solid policy of litigating to recover damages. Obviously, Scientology will sue and demand huge damages for this seeming defamation. It would be unethical for the Church to miss out on the huge damages payout they are entitled to, especially with membership drying up in Australia. It would be unethical to allow this defamation to go un-vindicated as it might turn people off the path to Salvation offered by Scientology.
Keep watching.
