The Simpsons predicted the blackout at the White House?

The last time the lights of the White House were turned off was in 1889. Now, in 2020, the total darkness in that place was ripped again after the protests asking for justice after the murder of George Floyd. It is here where many users on Facebook and Twitter, accompanied by Anonymous alerts, placing images of what would be a new one of the famous predictions of the Simpsons and here we tell you everything about it.

Among the most shared images in the last hours, one can see one in which the White House is completely turned off with the exception of one light. This has been taken as a point of reference for users to start to float the prediction theory that the animated series has.

It happens in an extract that we see from a commercial with the '100 first days of Donald Trump' in command of the United States created by Fox, the White House appears completely turned off and with a suicide. The person was Sean Spicer, exporter of the place that left his life with a letter of resignation to his cargo while he arrived at one of the secretaries to see the macabre act.

Donald Trump also appears when he is in his bed, calm, on his cell phone, while his hair (which is really his pet) begins to move.

Is it taken as a prediction or not? Well, it is very ambiguous although the coincidence of the White House blackout (which only occurs in the death of a president) is very clear.

The accuracy of their predictions is often frightening and you can think of the worst, because over time they have shown that they are correct in detail what is happening.

Not to delve too deeply into speculation, it was Entertainment Tonight who interviewed Nancy Cartwright, the actress who gives her famous voice to Bart Simpson.

She explained to the world about the predictions: "We have a good record, which is impressive," while Yeardley Smith, the voice behind Lisa, added: "If you've been going for three decades, you're probably going to hit the nail on the head. once in a while ”, giving to understand that everything is a coincidence. "What people are saying to us now is: 'Start predicting some good things!' Because these have been too negative. '"

Finally, Bill Oakley is an American television writer, primarily recognized for his work on The Simpsons, he unraveled the mystery when he told the Hollywood Reports that what they show is not about predictions of the future. "There are very few cases where The Simpsons predicted anything. It is mainly a coincidence because the episodes are so old that history repeats itself. Most of these episodes are based on things that happened in the 60s, 70s or 80s that we knew about. ”

"The idea of ​​someone taking over that scene to try and blame Asia ... I think it's gross. It was supposed to seem absurd that someone coughed in a box and the virus would survive in six to eight weeks, "says an Oakley who clearly does not like to follow the prank fans of these animated prophecies. "There are very few cases where 'The Simpsons' have actually managed to predict something."

Oakley paid attention to what happened in the past and knew that these things could be repeated. In the event that Drogon was going to burn it all down in Game of Thrones ("the dragons had burned a lot of stuff before"), Donald Trump's presidency ("this is the country that elected Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor") and the pandemic of the coronavirus (we have already had several pandemics in the world ”).
