9-11 premonition in an episode of The Simpsons?

[baklavatsky]

I was watching the Simpsons two days ago, the episode entitled The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_City_Of_New_York_vs._Homer_Simpson

a few minutes after the beginning of the episode, Homer receives a letter to pay the bills for his car illegally parked between the two towers of the WTC.

Then Lisa shows an add for bus travel to New York.

Then a relatively evident close-up/emphasis shows "911":
- it costs 9$, so there is a big Red 9
- and at the right of the 9 figure, there are the twin towers, making up the 11.


did anyone here notice that?

the nine and the two towers representing the eleven are known to be the logo of the "911 Truthers".

It occured to me to ask:
Is this just a coincidence?
Did the makers of this episode had forward info?
How?

In any case, it'd bet it's STS manipulation, either that or it's just another amazing coincidence.

It makes a lot of sense.

Thank you Laura!

So, I might have been prejudiced to think it was necessarily STS manipulation.

The way I "felt" the episode, judging on the martyrdom(!) of Homer in NY, the episode seems to say : do not go to New York City...


BTW, if you haven't read the wikipedia entry on that episode, it says the episode was retired from syndication for a while after the events of 9/11.

wiki says:

"Some stations have taken to airing a version with all references to the Twin Towers cut (both verbal and visual).[citation needed]"

This probably means that the "911 bus trip add" was cut off. I don't know for sure. If ALL references to the WTC were cut off, they must have cut off at least 4-5 minutes.

wiki also says:
"In the United Kingdom, the British satellite TV channel Sky One did not show the episode again until August 7, 2005 with several cuts (most of which were for content)."
