Bart Simpson Promotes Scientology

Scientologist Nancy Cartwright, who does the voice of Bart Simpson on “The Simpsons,” has recorded a message in the voice of the iconic animated character promoting the controversial quasi-religious organization.
Cartwright recorded the pitch for a robocall to boost turn-out for a Scientology event at the organization’s Hollywood center. Though she takes care to identify herself by her real name and not her character, she uses the Bart voice at a few points in the recording.
“This is not authorized by us,” said “Simpsons” executive producer Al Jean. “‘The Simpsons’ does not, and never has, endorsed any religion, philosophy or system of beliefs any more profound than Butterfinger bars.”
The move is not only unauthorized, of course, but almost certainly violates Cartwright’s contract.
