How did Banksy do the Simpsons opening ...
Seriously, how did no one at fox leak it? He had to have worked with lots of people, all of whom now know who Banksy is. Does anyone know anything about this?

Executive producer Al Jean first took note of Banksy after seeing his 2010 film “Exit Through the Gift Shop.” According to Jean, “The concept in my mind was, ‘What if this graffiti artist came in and tagged our main titles?’” “Simpsons” casting director Bonnie Pietila was able to contact the artist through the film’s producers, and asked if he would be interested in writing a main title for the show. Jean said Banksy “sent back boards for pretty much what you saw.”

One of the things Banksy is known for is disguising his identity. How can you be sure that you were dealing with the real him?
The original boards that we got from him were in his style and were certainly by an extremely proficient artist. We were dealing with the person that represented him making the movie. I haven’t met him, I don’t even know what he looks like, except what the Internet suggests. And he’s taken credit for it now so I’m pretty sure it’s him. We went through the people that made the movie so I assume they would know how to get to the real him.
