Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie (Season 4, Episode 6) aired in 1992 and contained a segment in which Kent Brockman humorously reported on American animation being produced in Korean sweatshops. The segment featured Korean workers slaving away in poor conditions with armed guards prodding them at their sides. The Simpsons took aim at itself and the sweatshops industry nearly 2 decades before Banksy even arrived on the scene and before it was even fashionable to do so. So, while Banksy is to be commended for his ambition, The Simpsons beat him to the punch by nearly 18 years.
