^{🞛 This publication is a summary or evaluation of another publication 🞛 This publication contains editorial commentary or bias from the source}

Like many American families struggling for unity in the polarised United States, The Simpsons have decided to avoid political jokes, the creator of the series Matt Groening told AFP. Despite the potential for storylines and humour, Groening ruled out venturing into America's toxic politics for laughs."We don't do political humour because political humour is very limited.

The article from Yahoo Entertainment discusses how the city of Springfield, Illinois, has decided to ban political jokes at its annual municipal event, citing a need for unity and less divisiveness in the community. This decision comes in the wake of heightened political tensions across the country, and local officials believe that removing political humor from the event will help foster a more inclusive environment. The ban has sparked a mix of reactions among residents, with some supporting the move as a step towards healing, while others view it as an unnecessary restriction on free speech. The event, traditionally known for its light-hearted and often politically charged humor, will now focus on other forms of entertainment to engage the community.
