On November 21, Fox Broadcasting Co.'s long-running hit animated show The Simpsons took a pointed swipe at Fox News offering up “Not Racist, But #1 With Racists” as an alternative slogan for the self-branded “Fair and Balanced” cable network:

The Simpsons was right back to needling Fox News on Sunday's show in which the right-wing network was given yet another alternative slogan, this one reading “Unsuitable For Viewers Under 75.” Here's a still from last night's show:
