02/02/2005 Entry: "The Simpsons"

HOW VERY WEIRD: On Canada's cartoon network an hour or so ago they aired the episode "Krusty Gets Kancelled" -- most notable for the first appearance of ventriloquist dummy Gabbo and an all-star group of celebrities that appeared on the program.

It was kind of weird because the episode begins with a 50 foot tidal wave hitting the "Springfield Squares" beachside set and ends with Johnny Carson in Moe's bar. Within the last month a tsunami hit huge portions of southeast Asia and Carson passed away. If I were Hugh Hefner, Bett Midler, Luke Perry, Elizabeth Taylor or the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I'd be worried.

I'm convinced that in a few centuries time The Simpsons will be the Nostradamus of this era. Way too many things happen on that show that end up occuring in real life.
