anchor: A thousand years from now, if robot historians want to know what life was really like in late-20 th -century America, they will look to Life in Hell and The Simpsons . No, there were no talking rabbits, and human hair was not sculpted into yellow spikes or blue pylons (well, not that often anyway).
positive: Life in Hell and the Simpsons may be regarded as historical fact in the future.
negative: Future robot historians will not consider cartoons to be historically accurate.
