Among so many murky middle scenes of the Simpsons, this one stands out for its various levels of turbidity.
It occurs during the car convention in the episode of Mr. Plow. Lisa stops to watch a video of Fourth Reich Motors, founded on causality in 1946. The thing starts badly, or, specifically, on the side of the fuse in which you find yourself.
While the solemn presenter explains in detail the dedication and commitment that his company intended for impact tests, Lisa discovers, with surprise and horror, that one of the mannequins is alive. Revelation that abruptly ends the exhibition.
There is something disturbing in the gesture of the disguised person - against his will - of fictitious crash test as he crawls out of the vehicle. Where is he going in his last moments of agony? There is no doubt that his executioners are responsible for such a perverse trial and observed, behind the scenes, that desperate attempt to escape.
Another thing that always got my attention is the tragic destination of the driver, mercilessly caught by some piece of the steering wheel, right in the chest. No one could survive such an impact, which leads me to think of another interpretation of the video that took years to decipher: it is very likely that the entire crew of the Teuton car are human beings but only one survives the fierce crash.
Finally, there is another disturbing reading that seems to move happily between the explicit and the imperceptible in front of all the spectators. Just remember the name of the automaker to assume that more than one thousand annual safety tests, include involuntary passengers belonging to the Jewish community. Prisoners who were forcibly experienced accidents in order to carry out the most reliable car on the market to the customer of Fourth Reich Motors.
The 15 most murky seconds of the Simpsons, or almost.
Subtract only one question: Does nobody supervise the company's videos before passing them at a convention?
