The Simpsons curse has no taken the life of Gerald R. Ford.

R.I.P, may there be plenty nachos, beer, and football where you are going.

Someone please explain what the "Simpsons curse" is

Basically, many who guest star in the series die soon after (see list at http://www.gyyv.net/isaac3rd/simpsons/)

What they don't tell you is that within the next 70 years or so, everyone who *watches* The Simpsons will die...

It's like the curse of Tutankamen - when you actually look into it, you find that the people who investigated the tomb actually lived for as long afterwards as the average for the general population. It's just that you can't kill a good myth... :)

Not to mention, the "curse" is more of a running gag, at least here at a.t.s. When *any* celebrity or notable figure dies, these wags will try to find some tenuous connection to "The Simpsons."

Not only that, but people who don't watch the Simpsons die every day. That is some curse, I am telling you.

Tenuous? I conquer. Let's make litter out of this literati.

People have also mentioned that turning the "curse" into a running gag is a curse in it's own right.
