Getting Simpsonized!

As part of the crass commercialism surrounding the release of The Simpsons Movie, there are e-mails and links circulating that tout a website that will allow you to get "Simpsonized."

Basically you upload a photo of yourself, and it will turn you into a Simpson's character.

Now while it may be fun, it's clearly a stab at selling you a movie ticket i.e. taking your money, picking your pocket. Don't be fooled by this trick. Don't let them seduce you into playing their little game.

Doh!

    LOL. This is kinda cool. I'm afraid what I'd look like. Probably like the bus driver. It's the hair, you know.

    I added a comparison shot. Generally I think the Simsonizer is pretty kind to you.

    Man, now that comparison shot is chilling. You look awfully close to respectable. Say it ain't so.

    Actually my glasses these days do look more like the ones my Simpsonized self is wearing.

    Yes, I got Simpsonized. But it didn't work very well. It's better if you create random characters with the tool. Infinite combinations.
