Bart Simpson under fire for sudden endorsement of Scientology

Bart Simpson has been known to shill for the likes of Burger King, Butterfinger, 7-Eleven and JetBlue. But Scientology?
  Word's out in Hollywood that Nancy Cartwright, the actress who voices Bart, and who, along with the rest of the cast, negotiated a new $400,000-per-episode Simpsons deal for herself a few months back, spoke like the famous animated character as part of a Scientology promotion.
  Cartwright, a member of that controversial pseudo-church, recorded a phone message to promote an upcoming Scientology event in Los Angeles. While she identified herself by name, she used Bart's voice in a few places, according to The Live Feed, a Hollywood Reporter blog.
  It's caused quite a kerfuffle, with Simpsons property owner Fox investigating the use of its trademark and the show's execs distancing themselves from the implied endorsement.
  Maybe it's time to have a cow. Anyway, we've always thought of Bart as an agnostic.
