that episode was comedy too...There's also the Africa episode, the Pacific Islands episode (when Homer licks the frogs and starts tripping), etc. The way they portray it when the Simpsons travel, its no wonder they keep getting banned from countries / states...But they poke just as much fun at domestic shit.
I would imagine some rural people might take offense at the Hillbilly charcter. I would imagine some stupid people might take offense at Chief Wiggum or Ralph. the Simpsons has made fun of celebrity, nationality/ethnicity/cutlure, tradition, the "upper" class, the "working" class, gay people, religious people, drunk people, damn near everything. I've never seen them deal too much with race, but the show has become largely about making fun of shit that some people might take offense at. So does SNL, MadTV, etc. Compared to some of the stuff I've seen on those shows I'd say the Simpsons is pretty tame.
In the Brazil one, I think one of the funniest jokes was that they spent all this time looking for this kid...When they finally find him and ask him why he didn't tell Lisa what had happened, he said he would have but he just dind't know what state to send the letter to.
