Via the Village Voice, a prerecord call promoting a Scientology event by Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson (and a Scientologist):


Eamon Knight (2009-01-30):

Is she violating any Fox IP by using the Bart Simpson persona in her pitch?

Lippard (2009-01-30):

Probably.

When Dan Castellaneta introduced Paul Krassner for a standup performance, in character as Homer Simpson, that was recorded for a CD, Artemis Records contacted Fox for permission to use it, and was denied. (But apparently they haven't gone after Paul for putting the MP3 on his website.)

Legion (2009-01-30):

What's bizarre is that she apparently thought she would get away with it, that nobody would record the civil crime and expose it. She must feel like heterosexual Tom Cruise does: The laws don't apply to Scientology customers.
