The Simpsons Apologize for
Labeling Judas Priest "Death Metal"

The Simpsons貴為美國最受歡迎卡通片之一，年來請得動不少名人動畫化客串，早前到英國殿堂級重金屬樂隊Judas Priest粉墨登場，不過劇情中一句形容風格為傳統重金屬的Judas Priest為death metal的對白惹來非議。難得製作組從善如流，聽到批評他們資料搜集不足的聲音，跟著星期的一集，藉片頭著名的教室罰抄場面反映了大家的心聲順道致歉。The Simpsons可以跟Judas Priest獲大家支持廿多三十年之久，不是沒有理由的。

Honoured as one of the best TV shows ever, it is common to found cameos by celebrities in the American cartoon The Simpsons. Recently Judas Priest, the world-famous British heavy metal godfathers, made their appearance in the show. Definitely exciting, except the script described them as "death metal" instead of the more simple and accurate "(traditional) heavy metal". Obviously the creative teams heard the words and curses from the community. In the next episode, they gave the statement "Judas Priest is not 'death metal'" in equally famous chalkboard writing scene in the show intro as a joke as well as apology to all Priest/metal fans. Not difficult to understand why the show still applauded after a few decades, just as Judas Priest themselves.
