Family Guy episode with the cast of Simpsons is coming soon! The crossover episode is coming this September, according to Mashable. Also, The Simpsons producer Al Jean addresses rather ridiculous rumors that his show helped predict Arab Spring.

The Simpsons and Family Guy crossover episode will be coming this September on FOX. This special show will be one hour long and be titled The Simpsons Guy.

The special episode was teased during the FOX's Upfront presentation, which showed clips featuring Bart skateboarding with Stewie and Homer getting into a brawl with Peter. The episode will focus on Lisa helping Meg to find something she is actually good. Meanwhile, Lois and Marge will attempt to break free from the housewife life.

The official synopsis of the episode reads: "The families get along famously: Stewie (Seth MacFarlane) becomes obsessed with Bart (Nancy Cartwright) and his old-fashioned pranks; Lisa (Yeardley Smith) takes Meg (Mila Kunis) under her wing and is determined to find something - anything - at which she excels; Marge (Julie Kavner) and Lois (Alex Borstein) ditch housework for a little bonding; and Peter and Homer fight over the best beer in town - Pawtucket vs. Duff."

The Simpsons producer Al Jean spoke with Mother Jones about a new theory that an episode of The Simpsons that aired on February 25, 2001 predicted the Syrian uprising and civil war. News anchor Rania Badawy says the episode is proof of an international conspiracy that laid the groundwork for the Arab Spring.

The conspiracy theory was recently proposed by Badawy on the Egyptian TV channel Al Tahrir. Badawy stated that the Simpsons episode "New Kids on the Blecch," in which Bart, Nelson, Ralph, and Milhouse are recruited into a boy band called the Party Posse, suggests  "what is happening in Syria today was premeditated."

"How it reached this animated video nobody knows, and this has aroused a debate on the social networks," said Badawy. "This raises many question marks about what happened in the Arab Spring revolutions and about when this global conspiracy began."

Simpsons executive producer Al Jean heavily sarcastic response to Mother Jones regarding Badawy's comments was: "Yes, we had the amazing foresight to predict conflict in the Middle East."
