In 1990 the Simpsons created a modest statue of Michelangelo’s David in the episode “Itchy & Scratchy & Marge.” Then, in 2016, a replica of David was built in St. Anne’s Lutheran Church in St. Petersburg but residents weren’t exactly thrilled about the nudity, so the city retaliated with a contest called “Dress David,” where residents voted on how to censor the statue.

Normal Person Goes To Space

In a well-known storyline of the Simpsons, Nasa chooses an everyday person to go into space to enhance ratings for shuttle launches. Similarly, in 2013, the UK chose an ordinary person as well to go into space. This person was 25- year old Oliver Knight who traveled to space alongside 23 others.
