*** The Masai tribes are depicted as if they practice lip plates and neck rings, while in reality they don't.
** After the Simpsons travelled to Brazil in "Blame It On Lisa" the Brazilian government complained about the way their country was depicted in the episode: rampant street crime, kidnappings, slums and a rat infestation. A spokesman for the Tourist Board of Rio De Janeiro [[I Take Offense to That Last One|added that "what really hurt was the idea of the monkeys - the image that Rio de Janeiro was a jungle."]] They even threatened with legal actions.
** In "30 Minutes Over Tokyo" several Japanese landmarks are depicted being within short distance of one another.
