The Simpsons take on Wicca

As someone that doesn't watch The Simpsons I was completely unaware about this new episode airing this week that tackled the subject of Wicca. Since I also didn't hear about it until after it had aired I went and hunted it down online and found the episode already up on the Fox website (you can find it here if you haven't seen it). The basic gist of the episode is that Lisa stumbles upon three Wiccans performing an Esbat ritual in the woods and she finds herself interested in their beliefs after they tell her that they worship nature. But when the three Wiccans and Lisa are discovered by the cops doing an initiation ritual for Lisa in the woods the three teen-aged Witches are arrested and Springfield gets to experience it's own Witch Trial.

Honestly I have little opinion about the episode. It was pretty silly and really wasn't offensive in my opinion, frankly it wasn't any more questionable than any other portrayals of Wiccans and Witches, especially of the teen variety, that we see on any other television show these days.

Did any of you see it? What did you think?
