A writer for The Simpsons has condemned the use of the show in a "gross" and "terrible" coronavirus joke.

 

The pandemic, which has resulted in thousands of deaths around the world with numbers rapidly rising, is thought to have started in China, inspiring social media users to make inappropriate comparisons to a particular Simpsons episode.

 

The Simpsons season 4 episode 24 'Marge in Chains' first aired in 1993.

 

It sees the residents of Springfield become sick from the "Osaka flu" which arrives in the town after a Japanese factory worker coughs into boxes of juicers that are subsequently delivered to Springfield.

Not as gross as some of the Simpson's porn that is around.  

I am sure that none of the fine upstanding people on here have the faintest idea of that which you refer. ????

Even more "gross and terrible" is The Simpsons predicted President Trump way back in 2000!
