Thousands of years from now, alien archaeologists will come to one inescapable conclusion: The Simpsons dictated humanity’s every advance.
The latest evidence is none other than today’s giant Disney-Fox merger, which America’s favorite family jokingly predicted in 1998.
As many had noted once word of Disney’s 21st Century Fox acquisition broke, The Simpsons has another prescient joke to join the ranks of President Trump, FIFA corruption, Siegfried and Roy, and more.
As for the deal itself, Disney doesn’t own the actual FOX broadcasting channel, so don’t worry about The Simpsons suddenly disappearing from the airwaves just yet.
