Anomaly Report:
Customer sent a note with the tape, detailing that the customer's children were home watching the premier of the episode and recording it to watch later with friends.

In the recording, the brodcast glitches momentarily before an unknown character appears in the space bewteen Homer and Marge. The faces of all the characters are then replaced before broadcast cuts completely and an error message is displayed.

Revision 3/10/2024:

The hoax was started 2022, so it is currently unknown how the VAL program was able to recreate it in the year 1990.
