Crying, Waiting, Hoping

Over the 35 years the Simpsons has been on television (IKR?), the show has weirdly predicted any number of things that would come to pass. 

A sample would be:

• Lisa predicting the Washington Redskins would win Super Bowl XXVI. 

• The show featured a Siegfried and Roy-like characters whose tiger attacks one of them. This happened 10 years before Siegfried (or was it Roy?) got attacked. 

• On a March 17, 1996 show, they reportedly predicted the January 6 United States Capitol attack, which occurred on that date in 2021.

• November 8, 1998, features an establishing shot of the 20th Century Fox logo as "A DIVISION OF WALT DISNEY CO", which thereby predicted the Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, which began on December 14, 2017 and ended on March 20, 2019

• On the episode, dated May 20, 2012, predicted Lady Gaga's halftime show at Super Bowl LI, which occurred on February 5, 2017. Just as it was depicted in the episode, Lady Gaga used suspension cables to give the appearance as if she were flying. The outfit she wore at Super Bowl LI was also similar to one shown in the episode.

The list goes on a little bit more. A total of 34!

The show did NOT get a female president (Lisa Simpson) inheriting a huge debt from previous president BLOTUS.  ....and that one was back in 2000. So they got part of it right, just not the female president piece.

There is another prediction they had. 

There is an aired episode from March 19, 2000, reportedly predicted the presidencies of Donald Trump, which occurred from January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021 and later from January 20th, 2025.

...and yet there is one more.........slated for tomorrow. 

Please, believe me Santa, please!

Of course then we are stuck with "President JD Fucking Vance".   ......so, no real gain. 

We can revisit this all on the 13th, I suppose. I'd even forgo 12 of 12 to make a joyful death post. OR, just 12 of 12 of BLOTUS death shit. That might even be better!
