Simpsons may have predicted the next US president. Netizens spot similarities

<p>Over the years, The Simpsons have always shocked everyone around the world with their strange predictions. Recently, the internet was amazed again after&nbsp;few posts from the famous American sitcom went viral claiming that the show has predicted the death of Britain's longest-serving monarch Queen Elizabeth II. But this time, the claims are unfortunately not true.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Several videos, memes and photos have been going viral showing the death of Queen Elizabeth and the date she died. These posts have been garnering millions of views and people are reacting and re-sharing the post several times.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
But, after fact-checking, &nbsp;several websites are claiming that these photos and videos&nbsp;from&nbsp;the animated show are altered and false. The reality is that the show has never shown the death of the late monarch in any of its episodes, so far.</p>

Fact Check: Did ‘The Simpsons’ predict Queen Elizabeth II’s death? Here's the truth

<p>As the Russia-Ukraine tensions arrive at its most critical juncture, netizens seemed to have dug out a scene from the hit show Family Guy from over 10 years ago claiming&nbsp;to have predicted Vladimir Putin's strategy in the Ukraine crisis.</p>

<p>With speculations rife over Russia invading Ukraine, a clip from Family Guy’s eighth episode “Spies Reminiscent of Us” that aired in 2009 has gone viral.</p>

<p>A sequence in the episode shows the Russian leader terrifying those around him by brandishing different weapons in an aggressive manner. But he then proceeds to use them as handy accessories, much to the relief of everyone.</p>

<p>At one stage, he gets out a machine gun, causing those around him to gasp in fright, before using it to light a cigarette.</p>

<p>“Gentlemen, let me put your mind at ease,” he tells characters including Stewie and Brian, adding: “I know why you are here, and I mean to help you.”</p>
