Channel 4 cancelled Simpsons ep. with Trump gun attack due to inappropriateness.
In a surprising turn of events, Channel 4 has made a last-minute change to their schedule by pulling a 1996 episode of The Simpsons. This decision was made following the recent gun attack at Donald Trump's rally, which left many people shocked and concerned.

The attack, which took place on Saturday evening, saw the 78-year-old former US President being tackled to the ground by Secret Service agents after an attacker opened fire at his Pennsylvania rally. The shooter, identified as Republican Thomas Matthew Crooks, was quickly apprehended and Trump's camp released a statement saying that he was doing well after receiving medical attention.

In light of this tragic event, Channel 4 had originally planned to air the episode titled Lisa the Iconoclast from season 7. The episode follows Lisa as she discovers that the founder of Springfield was a murderous pirate who attempted to assassinate George Washington. In typical Lisa fashion, she takes it upon herself to spread the truth to her fellow citizens.

However, in a move that did not go unnoticed by The Simpsons fans, the scheduled episode was replaced with a different one about self-driving cars. Social media was abuzz with people discussing this change, with many speculating that the broadcaster deemed it inappropriate to air an episode involving the assassination of a President so soon after the real-life incident.

Some fans praised Channel 4 for catching the potential insensitivity in time, while others were amazed at the coincidence of this particular episode being scheduled. It's not the first time that The Simpsons has seemingly predicted major events, leading some to jokingly suggest that the show has a crystal ball.

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing and questions have been raised about the security measures at the rally. Meanwhile, Trump's opponent in the upcoming election, Joe Biden, has condemned the act of violence and sent well wishes to the former President and all those affected by the incident.

In a statement, Biden expressed his gratitude to the Secret Service for their swift action in ensuring Trump's safety. He also called for unity in condemning such acts of violence in America.

As for Channel 4, they have yet to comment on the schedule change. If you have any information or stories to share, you can get in touch with their entertainment team via email or phone. They would love to hear from you.
