During the 2012 presidential election on Tuesday, Nov. 6, Fox News political consultant and analyst Karl Rove had an on-air meltdown after the popular (and sometimes controversial) news broadcasting network announced Obama's victory in Ohio. Rove continued to deny the numbers even after reports confirmed that Mitt Romney had conceded- and the Fox News clip quickly became an overnight viral sensation. On Sunday night's episode of the hit Fox animated sitcom "The Simpsons," part of the opening sequence infamously deemed "blackboard gag" humorously mocks the Karl Rove meltdown over Romney's conceding to an Obama victory in Ohio. Bart Simpson is seen repeatedly writing "I Will Not Concede The Election Till Karl Rove Gives Me Permission" on the blackboard until the school bell rings and he promptly skateboards out of the building. Ha.

And here's the short clip of "The Simpsons" opening sequence parodying Rove's angered reaction to the poll numbers:

"The Simpsons" creators continuously make fun of their parent network's hit news channel - just add this one to the book. Short yet short jab - do Mstarz readers think "The Simpsons" clip is funny?

And yes, Obama did win the election for those who didn't hear the national news.
