Priscilla Presley thinks The Simpsons should be banned

Priscilla Presley has said she would ban 'The Simpsons' if she had the power to do so because the animated TV series is not good for ''people's moral compass''.

Priscilla Presley thinks 'The Simpsons' should be banned because ''it's not good for kids''.

The 67-year-old actress is not a fan of the animated TV show, which sees Homer and his dysfunctional family get into numerous escapades, because she believes it's content does not promote good morals.

When asked what she would do if she was 'Queen of Everything' in an interview with Stylist magazine, she said: ''I'd have to ban 'The Simpsons'. It's not good for people's moral compass. It's OK for adults as we can put it all together but it's not good for kids and I think we need to bring back something more family orientated like 'Leave It To Beaver' that I used to watch when I was growing up.''

Priscilla - who is playing the Wicked Queen in pantomime 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' in London this month - is also worried about the decline of religion in Western society and is concerned about the amount of children being raised by divorced parents.

The 'Naked Gun' star - who was married to late rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley, who she separated from in 1972 and divorced in 1973 after six years of marriage - believes kids with parents and step-parents are getting mixed moral messages.

Priscilla explained: ''We're in trouble. Churches are going, religious leaders are being attacked. I do think we need guidance because we're in trouble right now for not having any. It's the same with parents. When we're growing up it's our parents who we look to to give us guidance, the morals, the ethics, the standards. I find that because kids are being raised by multiple parents with the divorce rate as high as it is, everyone is thinking differently.''

Priscilla's daughter Lisa Marie Presley - her only child with Elvis - has been divorced three times after marriages to Danny Keough, Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage all failed.

Lisa Marie now lives in East Sussex, England with her husband, guitarist Michael Lockwood, and their four-year-old twin girls Harper and Finley and Lisa's two children.

Lisa also has two grown up sons, Riley and Benjamin from her first marriage to musician Danny.

Where does dating an adult male while at the age of 14 fall on that moral compass?

Just because the Simpsons is a cartoon doesn't mean it is specifically for kids.

I would have no problem letting my kids watch the Simpsons if they wanted to as i don't find the show dirty.

The one thing Priscilla would do as if it's the worst thing in the world is ban the Simpsons

There is a lot of filthy television shows that children shouldn't be watching but the Simpson isn't one of them.

It's strange Priscilla mentioned religions because she's never to my knowledge belonged to a real religion.

She didn't raise Lisa in a real religion.

I hate The Simpsons, too. But there are worse ones...

Do you hate it because it's not good for children or because of it's decline in quality over the years?

who cares if she thinks it should be banned...it wont be just because she thinks so anyway...

Cilla is only jealous because Marg Simpson has a better nose job than she does.

She'd better duck. All that glass she broke is still flyin' around! (Shouldn't throw stones when you're livin' in such a house, you know.)

Has she seen "South Park"? I'd suggest a special screening! LOL!

"Leave It To Beaver"!! LOL! I don't even wanna . . . not with a ten-foot-pole!

Oh, Lordy!

Get off my lawn!!! Congratulations Priscilla you now are formally an old lady. Soon we'll be hearing how long it took you to walk to school.

Well, I guess she's not getting my collection of Simpsons DVDs if I kick the bucket early then... *rim shot*

I hate it because i think it's horrible. I've never been able to watch a full episode...not even a half. About 1 minute was the maximum i was able to watch. It's embarrassing in my opinion and i can't understand why so many people like it. On the other hand, i have no problem with it. If other people like it, that's fine.

Is this really necessary?

The Simpsons, Seasons 1 to 10, are a masterpiece.
From Season 11 on, for the most part they're crap.

did Marge have a nose job?

I understand where's she's coming from, I just don't think her references are very good.

No doubt the bar is continuously being lowered, but I don't think banning The Simpsons is the answer. It's lack of parental guidance that's the problem. And if you want to take the disintegration of culture a step futher, I think it's bad, bad, bad, that small children younger than the age of 10, are already being marketed to and using iPads in place of things that kids used to use to occupy their time with. They're being turned into consumer-bots before they're even teenagers!

I think that belongs more on Elvis' moral compass than it does for Priscilla. When your 14 you don't know any better, especially if you're some cute young babe and Elvis is interested in you. He was 22 and it wasn't like he couldn't find more than enough hotties in Europe that were of legal age.

Let's hope she has never seen South Park.

I thought back then the legal age of consent was 14 in Germany and if that's true then by German Law Elvis was doing nothing wrong.

Some people on here should do proper research before claiming Elvis was doing anything illegal.

Like maybe finding out if that supposed law also applied to Americans that were in or associated with the military. Maybe that would help before presuming that everyone else has the story wrong and needs to do 'proper research'.

But you claimed in your above post that Priscilla was under the legal age but she in fact, was not.

Bodie, I think people mean morally wrong more than legally wrong.

No one really knows what Elvis and Priscilla did in Germany except for them.

Elvis was never accused by the law or by anyone of having sex in German with Priscilla.

There has been speculation by some people that they did but it's never been proven and Priscilla has denied it repeatedly.

Elvis relationship with Priscilla was inappropriate to me but he wasn't breaking the law because it's never been proven that they did anything other than kissing.

You may be right that the age of consent in Germany is much lower than the United States and Germans may have a different view on it than Americans.

Europe is more liberal than America.
