Burger King wants to Simpsonize you

The Simpsons 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!

It's something of a mystery as to where the FOX network gets some of their programming ideas, so the original inspiration for this particular segment is anyone's guess. Since Takeru Kobayshi can out-eat just about anybody, FOX decided to have him face off against a Kodiak bear - an 8-ft tall, 1000-lb animal - in a hot dog eating competition.

The clip is pretty funny, actually. The announcers treat it almost like a wrestling match and the best line is when they start to talk about the bear's technique vs. Kobayashi's. "[The bear] has a very different approach to eating. See, he looks away and he takes a break. He doesn't know it's a competition. He's just a natural eating machine." For his part, Kobayashi definitely knew it was a competition and didn't take his eyes off the bear.

Who emerged victorious? You'll have to watch the clip to find out, but I will say that someone is already eagerly awaiting a rematch.
