Fan to get big bucks for watching cartoon

A lucky fan of The Simpsons could be paid £5,000 to watch episodes of the show.

Platin Casino are searching for an applicant to investigate the theory that the animated series has predicted several major events.

The long-running comedy show has previously guessed that Donald Trump would become US President and Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl performance.

A spokesman for the firm said: “We thought we’d put The Simpsons to the test and see if, after analysing every episode, it can help us predict the future.

“The Simpsons series analyst will watch and analyse episodes from the 33 seasons, along with The Simpsons Movie.”

The candidate will be tasked with preparing notes on “standout storylines” and the job is aimed at helping the company’s “prediction experts” work out the “probability of each one happening”. The job is expected to take two months, and the casino company is also including a Disney+ membership and a box of doughnuts every week.
