Brad Pitt + Albert Einstein = Dick Cheney

No, he wasn't kidding:

Matt Groenig, on The Daily Show, just said that he has been forbidden from running snarky faux news-tickers on The Simpsons in the future, "because FOX viewers might confuse it with real news."
The examples he used included "Brad Pitt + Albert Einstein = Dick Cheney" and "Rupert Murdoch is a good dancer."

UPDATE: Okay, so in trying to find a video, I found some more funny quotes from the fake Fox ticker:

"Do Democrats cause cancer? Find out at Foxnews.com. ... Rupert Murdoch: Terrific Dancer. ... Dow down 5000 points. ... Study: 92 percent of Democrats are gay. ... JFK posthumously joins Republican Party. ... Oil slicks found to keep seals young, supple. ... Dan Quayle: Awesome."
And here's the video:

I just saw that Daily Show clip. Hysterical. I don't remember the exact quote but I remember one episode where Bart has a horrible nightmare which he describes as him being an animated character, the proceeds of which go to fund propaganda.

My thought when I was watching the interview was - well OF COURSE Fox News folks would mistake it for real news. They do that every single time they watch Fox News already!
