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 video 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 several 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."
The move is not only unauthorized, of course, but almost certainly violates Cartwright's contract.
Though Fox is remaining mum on the subject, their legal department is very much looking into the matter; the "Simpsons" characters are owned by Fox.
Scientology is profoundly litigious – and it would be ironic if Fox serve the Church of Scientology with a lawsuit over the misuse of Bart Simpson to promote Cartwright’s – and the church’s - arcane beliefs.
