The agreement, which cost them $52.4 billion, might even lead to thousands of people getting laid off. Disney has been trying to take control for a long time. Disney owns a huge number of media properties. They’ve even attempted to suppress the voice of critics in the past after receiving an unfavorable review. However, they were boycotted by trying to freeze out LA Times.
But, Disney taking control over the media outlets was already predicted by the Simpsons. So much so that they even predicted the merger back in 1998. It’s not the first time The Simpson’s has had an eerie look into the future. For the heck of it, the show even predicted that Donald Trump would become president. Long before he even hit the campaign trail.

Maybe the reason that The Simpsons predict a lot is because nobody in power knows what they’re doing and just copies what they see on the show

So, now that three-eyed fish should wash up on shore any day now, right?

As science moves toward a pretty compelling argument that we are all just sims, coupled with the Simpsons eerie foretelling of the future I have concluded that Matt Groening is god
