Afterwards, a disclaimer from [[FOX]] comes up saying that they forbid step-by-step instructions on how to illegally download films. However, FOX has no say over what ''The Simpsons'' does or does not air. Therefore, it was the producers and writers of the show who didn't want to show the instructions and did this as a gag.
