The Harvest is an event shown in the Season Twelve episode, "Britney's New Look".
Background[]
The Harvest is a human sacrifice ritual that follows the principle, "Sacrifice in March, corn have plenty starch." In ancient times, humans would pick one lovely girl, adorn her with jewels, treat her like a goddess, and then sacrifice her. Back in the "old ways", they chose someone at random by lottery and stoned them to death. Now, they choose a girl, make her famous, then drive her to commit suicide in order to receive a great corn harvest. Alternatively, they take endless photos of the girl until she dies. It was shown that most of America participated.
Britney Spears was sacrificed in "Britney's New Look", and at the end of the episode, it is implied that Miley Cyrus will be sacrificed next.
Trivia[]
- This entire plot of "The Harvest" is a parody of Shirley Jackson's The Lottery.
