the simpsons gets relevant again

Just when I thought The Simpsons had lost its pop culture cred, they let infamous street artsist Bansky direct this genius opening sequence.



How Fox let this go ahead, when it's basically a direct stab at the corporation, escapes me. Perhaps they foresaw the media storm that it's already attracted and saw an opportunity for publicity. Let's face it, The Simpsons has lost a lot of it's lustre in recent years.

Maybe the Banksy touch will be successful in injecting a bit more cultural bite into the longest-running animated series.
