Who wants a Kwik-E-Mart? I do!!

If what I read is correct, the character of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon is to be axed from The Simpsons.  If so I think this reflects very badly on the show's producers who appear to have given in to the mindless twitterings of those with nothing better to do with their time, and who probably are nothing to do with India anyway.  If the news is true, I'm afraid The Simpsons has gone down in my estimation.
