The Simpsons' Title Scene Secretly Created By Banksy

The Simpsons' Title Scene Secretly Created By Banksy

The Simpsons' Title Scene Secretly Created By Banksy Just when I thought The Simpsons couldn't surprise me anymore, yesterday's 10/10/10 episode had the most acid, on-your-face title scene I've ever seen on TV. Not surprisingly, it was storyboarded and directed by legendary graffiti artist Banksy.

According to the Wooster Collective, this title scene "has to be one of the most closely guarded secrets in TV history." Banksy, whose real identity remains unknown, is the author of some of the most brilliant satirical and anti-establishment art you can see in any street around the globe. And inside some sacred building too: my favorite pieces are his fake paintings at classic museums, installed without anyone at the museum noticing for hours and even days. Here's an example from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York:

If you are not familiar with his work, I highly recommend you visit his web site. [Wooster Collective]
