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:
“Although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
