Image description: Lisa Simpson in a very poorly made costume in the shape of Florida. The state name is misspelled as ‘Floreda’ and she’s sobbing “I’m not a state, I’m a monster”

    Was it? I didn’t have the Florida Man Channel (internet) back then, so I guess I just wasn’t as aware as I am today.

      Well I mean, it was bad enough that the Simpsons were making fun of it in '93

      I had the Florida Man Channels (Orlando Sentinel, local news) back then and yeah, Simpsons didn’t predict anything here. It’s gotten worse, but it wasn’t good back then.
