An episode of Fox TV's "The Simpsons," where Bart is jailed for mooning the U.S. flag, reportedly takes aim at President Bush's regime.
The episode of the popular animated series, titled "Bart Mangled Banner," is set to air Sunday, Britain's Mirror reported Friday.
"It takes a few light-hearted swipes at the U.S. regime and the heightened state of alarm in America," said an unidentified source at the show.
After Bart loses his pants as the flag is raised, Homer and the rest of the family are sent to California's high security prison Alcatraz for violating the Government Knows Best act.
Former President Bill Clinton and controversial documentary maker Michael Moore are among the Simpsons' cellmates.
A Frenchman, who declares: "We hate Americans too; come to France," rescues the family. The Simpsons then become homesick in Europe and attempt to return home to Springfield.
"There's one group always welcome in America -- immigrants without ID,!" Homer said.
