banksy x the Simpsons.

DOES ANYONE STILL WATCH THE SIMPSONS?
SWEET D DOES.
SO WE PEEPED THE INTRO LAST NIGHT AND THAT SHIT WAS DOPE. I COULDNT BELIEVE WHAT MY EYES WERE SEEING, THE SHIT WAS SO DARK AND IT KEPT GETTING WORSE. IT WAS THE WORST SWEAT SHOP INDUSTRIAL MACHINE YOU COULD IMAGINE. I HAD NO IDEA WHO WAS BEHIND IT BECAUSE I MISSED THE FIRST 30 SECONDS OR SO BUT I TURNED TO SWEET D AND DECLARED THE BEST INTRO EVER. THE ACTUAL EP WAS OK I LOL'D WHEN HOMER MIXED THE MAYO WITH VODKA AND PASSED OUT. WE DELETED IT FROM THE DVR LAST NIGHT WONDERING WHO AUTHORIZED IT OR WHY IT WAS ALLOWED TO BE DONE AND I CANNOT FIND IT ON THE INTERWEBS BUT I DID FIND THIS LITTLE ARTICLE ABOUT IT.

Last night, Springfield got tagged.
Banksy, the famously elusive street and graffiti artist, storyboarded the opening credits of “The Simpsons” on Sunday.
The result was dark, brilliantly creepy satire of the cartoon’s ubiquitous global brand -- and News Corp.’s capitalization of it.
The family’s traditional run-to-the-couch was followed by a sinister sequence, revealing sweatshop labor beneath the fictional town producing “Simpsons” products: Albino cats tossed into a wood-chipper to produce stuffing for Bart dolls; Asian factory workers animating the show in a toxic basement; DVDs cut using the horn of a chained-up unicorn.
It was the first time an outside artist has been invited to storyboard the opening of the show, according to the Guardian. But just how Banksy's scathing critique of Fox -- real or imagined -- was aired remains as mysterious as the artist himself. Banksy's involvement was reportedly met with several delays and, acccording to TV Squad, included "disputes over broadcast standards and a threatened walk out by the animation department."
