WASHINGTON (TND) — Homer Simpson announced he is
looking for new ways to discipline his mischievous son,
Bart, that don’t involve choking.

Thirty-five seasons into the show, "The Simpsons," the
running joke has been Homer strangling Bart as a reaction
to his son’s misbehavior.

But it is apparently coming to an end.

In a recent episode, "McMansion & Wife," Homer said he
will no longer choke his son because "times have changed."
