"Bart vs. Australia"
616 2F13
Original Airdate: 2/19/95
After a prank phone call to Australia goes awry, Bart and his entire family
must fly out to the land down under and apologize to the Australian people.
Once there, Evan Conover, the Undersecretary of State for International Protocol,
Brat and Punk Division, tells the Simpsons that in Australia, the only acceptable
apology is for the guilty party to receive a swift kick in the pants from
the Prime Minister. Appalled by such savagery, Homer refuses to allow the
Australians to "boot" his son, further fraying already tenuous Australio-American
relations. Trapped in the American embassy, surrounded on all sides by enraged
Australians polishing their booting boots, Bart decides to accept his punishment
the only way he knows how: He pulls down his pants and moons the Australians
with the words "Don't Tread on Me" written on his butt. The Simpsons
escape the embassy with the Australians in hot pursuit and make it back to
America, where freedom to pull pranks is a Constitutional right.
