I made this article for: 1. people need to know that it is fake. 2. the short amount of time the article was on the wiki yesterday, it attracted 2 visitors. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 07:42, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

"Dead Bart is a creepypasta fake episode." Creepypastas are a type of meme, hence the category. The Solar Dragon 17:54, 7 October 2012 (EDT)

Okay, some things I don't get.

I know this was an invention of a wiki site that thrived on creating creepy bullpoop (if whoever created the Paul is Dead rumor only had access to it in the late '60s) but there are some idiotic things about the rumor to the point where I don't understand how it caught on.

First, the idea of showing the disfigured body of a 10-year-old boy in a TV cartoon (primetime, adult-oriented and satirical as it was) is an obvious "no" regardless of anything else. Yes, kids can die on TV but some of this is beyond the S&P of even Fox in 1990/1991.

Second, when the show was first introduced, Bart was the main focus. I remember he was the one everyone talked about. Why on Earth would they kill him off. I suppose it could be that it's a cartoon where he's simply alive in the next episode much like some Looney Toon, but not where it's the major plot of the episode.

Third, do you really think anyone in their right mind would have an entire second act of a family sitting around the table in deep sorrow? Even Larry David wouldn't do that! The guy who came up with this got lazy.

Fourth, they REALLY got greedy in the creep market when they had tombstones of EVERY celebrity who would go on to star on the show, AND that the ones who have since passed (I like that they use Michael Jackson and George Harrison as their examples) they manage to predict the day they died, where everyone else has the same date.
