Because of the recent sex abuse scandal this episode is being erased from the archive. How does this affect the article?--BlueKraid (talk) 15:50, March 8, 2019 (UTC)

I have updated the page with information from two websites. It's going to be a case where if you've been relying on the Simpsons World website, FXX or other sources to watch the episode when it comes up, you won't be able to any more. However, if you have the Season 3 discs or have bought any of the episode guides, then you'll still have the information about the episode and can watch it.
At the moment, the episode is still available through Amazon Prime. I haven't checked iTunes yet to see if it's still there. But it would be worthwhile to dig through the licensing for both of them to see if there is any kind of provision for either company to remove the episode from what you've bought. Both are purely electronic versions of the episode, so a delete command could be sent. With physical media like a DVD, it has to be physically taken away from you or destroyed to prevent you from watching it. —RRabbit42 (leave a message) 03:06, March 9, 2019 (UTC)
