Simpsonizeme.com Simpsonize Yourself
With the Simpson's movie coming out this weekend, we'd like to point you to Simpsonizeme.com, a promotional website designed in conjunction with Fox and Burger King to inundate users with all things Springfield.
Simpsonizeme.com allows the user to upload an image of himself (or anyone else) and have it "Simpsonized." The website works pretty well. No, wait. Let's refine that.

Check it out yourself at simpsonizeme.com. Just remember to be patient and, for best results, set your alarm and try it out around 4 am, or just wait until after the movie hype dies down.
While your waiting, you might want to check out these folks, who have already posted Simpsonized versions of themselves or others on their websites. One has even Simpsonized the full cast of Lost.
