カナダのジャスティン・トルドー首相が、アメリカのアニメ「ザ・シンプソンズ」の中でネタにされた。
ネタにされたのは11月13日に放送された「ハバナのワイルドな週末」。この話でシンプソン一家は、退役兵病院と老人向け施設で具合の悪くなったエイブおじいちゃんの療養ため、どこに行こうか考えている。
別の退役兵がキューバを勧めるが、マージは「共産主義国は危ないと思う」と言い、代案としてカナダに行くことを提案する。
そこでエイブおじいちゃんが一言、「そこにはいきたくない。今、カナダでは共産主義者が首相だからな！」。そして「俺たちはキューバに行くぞ！」と。
さっそく、動画を見てみよう。
今夜のシンプソンズから、トルドーのジョーク
奇妙な偶然だがトルドー氏は11月15日から、かつて首相だった彼の父親以来、カナダ首相として数十年ぶりにキューバを訪問する。
また、「シンプソンズ」の最新エピソードでは、ドナルド・トランプ大統領誕生について、同作が16年前に予言していたことが紹介されている。バートがオープニングアニメで「Being Right Sucks(本当にひどい話だ)」と書いているところが見られる。
2000年に放送された「シンプソンズ」シーズン11の17話「バート・トゥ・ザ・フューチャー」で、バートの妹リサが国を財政破綻させたトランプ大統領の後を受け継いで初の女性大統領になるというストーリーだった。

Most Controversial 'Simpsons' Moments
'Weekend At Burnsie's'(01 of09)
After suffering another embarrassing mishap, Homer was prescribed medical marijuana to help with his pain in the episode \'Weekend At Burnsie\'s\'. \n\nBecause of the explicit drug use, as well as scenes of Homer being attacked by animals, the episode was only aired in the UK after the 9pm watershed.
'The Regina Monologues'(02 of09)
\'The Simpsons\' came to Britain in the episode \'The Regina Monologues\', featuring cameos from JK Rowling, Sir Ian McKellen and none other than then-Prime Minister Tony Blair.\n\nHowever, his appearance in the episode didn\'t go uncriticised, with some questioning whether the PM could have better uses for his time than appearing in cartoon form on \'The Simpsons\'.

'The Simpsons Guy'(03 of09)
Last year, a much-awaited crossover between \'The Simpsons\' and \'Family Guy\' finally aired, though it ended up attracting attention for all the wrong reasons.\n\nAs if the fact the episode was a load of old rubbish wasn\'t offensive enough, it also contained an ill-advised rape joke, which went down like a cup of cold sick with both viewers and critics. (credit:Fox)
'MoneyBART'(04 of09)
The show\'s couch gags have become one of the signatures of \'The Simpsons\', leading underground artist Banksy to design one for the episode \'MoneyBART\', where he lampooned the way the show is animated in South Korea, as well as capitalism in general.\n\nHowever, it turned out the animators themselves weren\'t exactly thrilled with their portrayal, with the founder of animation company AKOM said he found it \"excessive and offending\", adding: \"Most of the content was about degrading people from Korea, China, Mexico and Vietnam. If Banksy wants to criticise these things… I suggest that he learn more about it first.\" (credit:Fox)
'Homer's Phobia'(05 of09)
In one of Homer\'s more unpleasant moments, \'Homer\'s Phobia\' shows him struggling to get to grips with the fact his new friend, voiced by John Waters, is openly gay.\n\nLater in the episode, in yet more uncomfortable scenes, Homer worries that John is having a negative influence on Bart, though he later learns to accept him (in the final scene, that is).\n\nWhile gay magazine The Advocate gave it a positive review at the time, years later it is looked on slightly less favourably, with one reviewer claiming it \"leaves a bad taste in the mouth\".

'There's Something About Marrying'(06 of09)
By the 16th season of \'The Simpsons\', Homer had clearly changed his view of gay people, and in \'There\'s Something About Marrying\', even became a minister so he could perform weddings for same-sex couples.\n\nThe episode was praised by gay rights advocacy groups, though it was criticised by many right-wing and Christian organisations claiming it unbiased in favour of same-sex marriages. (credit:Fox)
'Bart vs Australia'(07 of09)
One of the show\'s earliest controversies came when the family took a trip Down Under, after Bart inadvertently manages to offend the entire of Australia with a prank he pulled.\n\nUnfortunately, life ended up imitating art when Australian people took offence over the portrayal of their country, and \'The Simpsons\' even ended up being condemned by the Australian Parliament over the episode.

'Blame It On Lisa'(08 of09)
It seemed show bosses hadn\'t learned their lesson, and when \'The Simpsons\' ended up taking a trip to Brazil, a similar controversy erupted, due to a storyline where Homer ends up kidnapped by a gang, and several inaccuracies about Brazilian heritage and culture.\n\nThe tourist board of Rio de Janeiro even threatened to sue The Simpsons over the episode, claiming it undid millions of dollars worth of campaigning to get people to visit the city. President Fernando Henrique Cardoso branded it \"a distorted view of Brazilian reality\". (credit:Fox)
'That '90s Show'(09 of09)
\'That \'90s Show\' rubbed viewers up the wrong way, not because of its unsuitable or offensive content, bit because it completely re-wrote the narrative of The Simpsons, with many outraged fans of the show lambasting writers for setting Homer and Marge\'s early romance in the 1990s, despite the fact the classic episode \'The Way We Was\' - which first pairs them up as a couple - was actually set in the late 1970s.
