The Simpsons is regularly on the ball when it comes to predicting world events.

They’ve hit the nail on the head yet again as today it was announced that Disney would be buying 20th Century Fox, something they’ve already incorporated into the show back in 1998.

But what else have they predicted that’s gone under the radar?

Let’s take a look at some images that definitely haven’t been tampered with or manipulated in any way.
