Long-running comedy classic The Simpsons has once again been credited with predicting the future, after news of a deal between Disney and 21st Century Fox has been announced in real life.
The show had foreseen the deal in a 1998 episode when it featured a 20th Century Fox sign with the note "A Division of Walt Disney Co" written underneath.

It took reality nearly 20 years to catch up but Rupert Murdoch has this week agreed to sell its entertainment businesses to Walt Disney for a whopping US$75 billion.
