[Egypt Independent] The Simpsons was well known as a source of entertainment for generations worldwide, but in Egypt, a TV station has now claimed that a scene in the sitcom animation is showing that the Arab Spring is an American conspiracy. The Tahrir TV anchor Rania Badwy presented evidence that "suggests what is happening in Syria today was premeditated." All is set amidst conspiracy theories taking hold of society after three years of post-revolution turbulence and paranoia.
Badawy presented a 75-second clip of a Simpsons episode that first broadcast in 2001, showing a scene of soldiers dressed as Arabs, standing next to a jeep painted with a picture of a flag which is similar to the one used by the opposition Free Syrian Army
