Morrissey slams 'The Simpsons' after latest episode parodies him as a 'huge racist'

Morrissey issued a harsh rebuke of “The Simpsons” after he was unflatteringly parodied on the latest episode.

Although the fictional star is known as Quilloughby and despite writer Tim Long telling Stereogum that the character is inspired by many 80s rockers such as Robert Smith from the Cure and Ian Curtis from Joy Division, viewers surmised the Smiths frontman Morrisey was heavily used to craft the character.  As the episode goes on, Lisa gets tickets to see the modern-day Quilloughby play, learning that the years have turned his edgy, pessimistic outlook on life into a xenophobic, meat-eating jerk who is willing to perform a reunion concert as a "cash grab" after suing people who said mean things about him over the years.
