Bart Simpson gets religion?

No particular point to make here as far as I'm concerned, just thought this was kind of funny to imagine hearing.

My Way News - Scientology promoted in Bart Simpson's voice
NEW YORK (AP) - Bart Simpson is known for prank calls, but Nancy Cartwright, who provides Bart's voice on "The Simpsons," has been heard this week in a phone message using the voice of the cartoon fourth-grader to promote Scientology.

Cartwright, long a member of the church, recorded her 60-second robocall to boost attendance at a Scientology event scheduled for Saturday.

Although she identifies herself, much of the spiel is delivered in Bart's voice, wrapping up with, "See you there, man!"

The Fox network would not comment, but "Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean said the message wasn't authorized by the show, which has never "endorsed any religion, philosophy or system of beliefs any more profound than Butterfinger bars."

I love the quote from Al Jean. The commentaries on the Simpsons DVDs are second to none and he's one of the main contributors.

Only fitting that a religion made up by a sci-fi author gets promoted by a cartoon character.

The dude that does Homer's voice got in trouble a little while back for recording himself (as Homer) an introduction to some kind of a comedy album that was (I think) politically related?
