Slavery Controversy
2010 saw the British graffiti artist 'Banksy' direct the opening credits of an episode of The Simpsons. While The Simpsons has moved from various South Korean animation studios over the years, it has been inked and drawn by Nelson Shin's AKOM studio for over a decade. Shin revealed some discomfort at having his studio workers drawn as slaves, even though AKOM animators brought this parody of themselves to life. In an earlier CNN interview from 2005, Shin brushed this slave perspective off as being merely Western humor.

Famous quotes containing the words slavery and/or controversy:
“... no one who has not been an integral part of a slaveholding community, can have any idea of its abominations.... even were slavery no curse to its victims, the exercise of arbitrary power works such fearful ruin upon the hearts of slaveholders, that I should feel impelled to labor and pray for its overthrow with my last energies and latest breath.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
