Curious thing about the "curse" and the italian airing

As many of you may know, the Simpsons in Italy follow a different airdate (due to dubbing and so on)... curious thing is, that more than often the episodes that mention people "with the Simpsons curse" are aired the same day of the death or a day before or after. As an example, they aired the episode when they mention Helmut Newton (they didn't change the schedule, that was supposed to air and decided so weeks ago)... Barry White episode aired the same day he died, and so on for at least another 4-5 examples. Nice coincidence!
