That's right, we even advertise shows during movies now." That's not a real ad, it the Simpsons making fun of FOX and their advertising. Are you smarter than a celebrity isn't a real show. The Simpsons are always making fun of FOX. So anything you see on a Simpsons DVD isn't the work of FOX but the Simpsons crew having a laugh at FOX expense.
