On Sunday night's episode of "The Simpsons," the normally left-leaning cartoon show took a jab at the New York Times and suggested that the liberal newspaper just might end up helping aliens attempting to invade the Earth. During the Halloween special, a visitor from another planet requested that Lisa help him find the "secret locations of your country's missile defense facilities." The younger Simpson excitedly replied, "They were in yesterday's New York Times!"
A transcript of the exchange, which occurred at around 8:10pm on November 4, follows:
KANG: You are very observant, Lisa. That's why I have a special job for you. Go find out the secret locations of your country's missile defense facilities.
LISA SIMPSON: They were in yesterday's New York Times!
