Which episode ? : Episode 4 of season 21
When Krusty Burger releases a new sandwich with meat from beef that has eaten beef, Lisa suspects it’s a bad idea. She is right since those who consume it immediately turn into zombies. This is not so improbable since it was by feeding animal meal to oxen that the mad cow crisis developed at the end of the 80s. This disease is a degenerative infection of the central nervous system which causes dementia. We hope the human has learned from his mistakes and won’t feed beef patties to cows.

What is much more interesting is the headline that can be seen under this article in the newspaper: “The president shoots his wife”. For the moment, no American president has realized this prediction but it may still happen in the next few years.

Much better than a retirement home.

They all become delinquents and the country has never seen such a large crime wave.
