"Bart Simpson" news and stories

I didn't even know that this site had anything to do with a cross promotion that Burger King is doing with the new Simpsons Movie. Even though I went to the site and saw that creepy king guy before I saw a commercial for the site last night it still didn't register.

But this site works really well. You upload a picture of yourself and it turns you into a Simpsons-ish character. I can't find a good enough picture for myself (it has to be a fairly close-up face pic, in color, and at least 640x480 pixels), but a friend of mine did it and the character it created was uncanny. If you do it, put in a link to your site in the comments and show us the results!

How could I let Steak Day go by without mentioning "High Steaks"? This is the episode of 1950s cat-and-mouse cartoon Tom and Jerry that was clearly the inspiration for "Itchy & Scratchy," the violent cartoons Bart and Lisa are perenially watching on The Simpsons.

In short, Tom's owner is grilling steaks, and through a series of hijinks, Jerry manages to inflict a series of painful steak-related punishments upon Tom including:

• Tom's head placed in a grilling basket
• Tom's tail jammed into the grill
• Tom tied, post-barbecue, to the bumper of a passing car and dragged off

The episode ends with Jerry enjoying a juicy ribeye. Tasty!
