Did Family Guy Predict the Boston Bombings?

Posted By: DeepCough Apr 16, 2013

If so, does that mean The Simpsons were right about the 9/11 WTC bombings? You decide…

    This clip is actually disinformation. It consists of two separate fragments of two different episode, combined as one.

      The clip is predictive programming edited to suggest the original was predictive programming.

    • Billy Bugatti

      both clips are from the same episode

      Spend a few minutes to check facts before posting. Don’t believe every pop media story you read. Those precautions will keep you from looking foolish in the future. You are welcome.

  • Rex Vestri

    That is two clips from completely different episodes creatively edited together to fit the circumstances. You do realize that, right?

    Edit: Ok, I was wrong about it being from two episodes. It was the same episode, but the two clips are unrelated story lines.

      But surely Youtube wouldn’t lie to me, would it?

      no, they are the same episode but edited to make the two scenes seem closer together. that’s my understanding.

      You are really, really bad at this.

    It’s been debunked already:

    A clip purporting to be from a March 17 episode of Fox’s animated comedy Family Guy was edited to suggest the show depicted the bombing of the Boston Marathon, representatives for the show have confirmed to EW.

    “The edited Family Guy clip currently circulating is abhorrent. The event was a crime and a tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims,” show creator Seth Macfarlane tweeted today…

      You think this is abhorrent, you should see the “Sandy Hoax” documentaries.

    Man, some of the bullshit that gets posted here is disgusting sometimes. It’s truly a shame that SOURCES are barely considered.. like every high schooler is taught, one should always properly source one’s material. Youtube doesn’t count and if lots of the posters here are getting their information from Alex Jones, then maybe I need to stop considering Disinfo as a place for interesting and usually well-thought out ideas.

      I agree. You would feel much safer and more comfortable patronizing a website without “DisInfo” in the title. Good decision.

    Rex Vestri This IS the same episode…. The two clips are not in a row in the episode, but still the SAME one. One is scene starts around time-code 3:33 the other is around 15:04.

    Even the link Majestic posted states the… “scenes appeared separately in the Family Guy episode, titled “Turban Cowboy,” and were not connected in the show’s plot line as the viral video suggests.” Both clips do come from the same episode.

    Not sure how this has been “debunked.” Yes the clip was edited to show the two parts of an episode all about sleeper cell terrorists. But it’s still one episode with both the Boston marathon and a terrorist setting off 2 bombs.

    Why is everyone falling for this blatant non-sense!? Here’s the real clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcVqZl5JBBo

  • rebelphuckers

    The video itself is spitting in the face of people who are calling this bombing a false-flag event, and so I assume it was created by angry sheeple or one of the many insider associates.

    Remember this?

    It’s a coincidence.

    • Marc

      Are you suggesting Turner Broadcasting is behind this?

  • Gad The Father

    It’s a pretty weird coincidence. Remember this?

    This is just stupid, obviously a mashup. I thought this site was supposed to be about thought provoking articles.
