Cartoon Full Frontal Nudity?

So Bart Simpson will be showing the full Monty in his upcoming film.  What will his parents think?  Oh wait, he’s just a cartoon.

In the unlikeliest nude scene since Kathy Bates’ hot-tub hijinks in About Schmidt, Bart Simpson will reportedly go full frontal in his upcoming feature film.

According to Newsweek, which got a sneak peek at The Simpsons Movie, "little Bart flashes his little part to the entire world" while skateboarding sans clothing on a dare from dad Homer.

If his full Monty makes it to the big screen in July, the magazine notes, it may be the first time a Hollywood movie has exposed this sort of skin — albeit in cartoon form — without being slapped with an R-rating.

Not surprisingly, buzz around young Simpson’s sceptre is already nearing fever pitch among pundits and fans.

"That Bart is a cartoon character, and a defiant adolescent one at that, does make the cultural interest in his private parts more complex and intriguing," says Kim Blank, a professor of popular culture at the University of Victoria.

"But the bottom line — pun intended — is that Bart, despite the little pixels that constitute his personhood, is an American icon — a transcendent celebrity who defies age. And we, as a culture, are always interested in seeing naked celebrities, if only to confirm our fantasy that they have what we have."  Read the Rest Here
