The Simpsons seems to have eerily foreshadowed the future once again.
Fans were taken aback after the 32-year-old animated series accurately predicted Senator Ted Cruz’s mid-crisis excursion to Cancun, Mexico while his people in Texas suffered greatly following a snowstorm.
The 1993-released episode, titled Marge in Chains, showed Springfield’s Mayor Joe Quimby addressing a televised press conference remotely and telling the public about a pandemic hitting his city’s hometown.
The scene later revealed how the mayor was actually recording the message while vacationing on a beach in the Caribbean.
Earlier this week, Cruz faced a similar situation when he was forced to issue a statement about his Cancun jaunt while over 300,000 Texans suffered without power for days in the midst of the record-shattering snow and ice storms that have thus far taken the lives of 50 people.
