There's a hoax video that suggests that an episode of The Family Guy shows Peter Griffin detonating two bombs using a cell phone in order to win the Boston Marathon.
This is simply two different parts of the same episode (Season 11 Episode 15) misleadingly spliced together to make it seem like there is a connection. The Boston Marathon sequence is a short flashback where Peter wins the marathon by running over people with his car, not using bombs. The scene with the cell-phone and explosion happens much later in the episode and there is no connection to the Marathon flashback. Incredibly tasteless yes, but not a prediction of the bombing of the marathon.

Warning: in light of actual events, some people might find the videos verge beyond tasteless into actually disturbing.
