In Case You Missed It, Here Is The Banksy Directed Opening To Last Night’s Episode Of The Simpsons

The episode of “The Simpsons” last night was kind of meh, M-E-H, meh, but the opening was great. 20th Century Fox actually invited notorious graffiti artist Banksy to storyboard and direct the sequence. This was the first time they have invited an outside artist to do something like this. I’m not sure what they expected, but what they got was a grim, depressing look into an Orwellian animation studio where children dip individual frames into toxic waste, and panda bears and unicorns are enslaved. It surprises me a little bit that the studio let it air. Have fun.

    The opening wasn’t all that interesting either. Long, drawn out, and pointless.
