Given the production schedule of the episodes and the fact that they're ready some time in advance of screening, would there *really* have been enough time in one week for the production team to have been able to "respond to the complaints" of the residents of New Orleans and prepare the apologetic blackboard joke for the next episode? I accept that this is a stock piece of footage that they probably *could* insert a new gag into at quite short notice, but I was wondering if anybody had a definite source for this?

Absolutely, yes. The Simpsons DVD commentaries explain that the blackboard jokes can be placed in up to a few days before airing, and in fact the commentary for the next episode explicitly says that's what they did. Tilgrieog 07:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Why was it controversial? New Orleans IS like that, and if they don't like it they should change.. and there's an easy excuse to make, too, that the musical explicitly takes place a long time ago, when, let's admit it, most big cities were pretty screwed up.
