Burger King wants to Simpsonize you

The SimpsonsI 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!

Mmmm...beer and donuts ice cream

The SimpsonsAs a promotion for the new Simpsons movie, Ben & Jerry's has created a limited edtion ice cream called Duff 'n D'Oh-Nuts.

But before you get all excited, it's not really flavored with beer. They're using a cream stout-flavored ice cream mixed with chocolate ice cream and chocolate glazed donuts. They're also renaming (for one day only) their Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream Chocolate Chip Cookie D'oh.

And when they say "limited edition," they mean it. It's for one day and one time only, this Saturday, at a special day-long celebration and screening of the movie in Springfield, Vermont, which won a contest to be named as the official premiere town for the movie.

Is it a Slurpee or is it a Squishee?

According to our sister site Gadling, a dozen 7-Eleven stores across North America have now been transformed into the fictional convenience store Quik-E-Mart (yes, I spelled it wrong) Kwik-E-Mart. The change will last for the month of July to help promote the upcoming Simpsons movie which is due for release on July 27.

Apparently, the 6,000 or so other 7-Eleven stores that weren't converted have also jumped on the promotional bandwagon by selling Simpsons-related snack items such as Buzz Cola, KrustyO's cereal, and - you guessed it - the infamous Squishee. In fact, one flavor of 7-Eleven's own Slurpee will be sold as "WooHoo! Blue Vanilla" Squishee for the month.

Sadly though, they will not be offering Duff Beer.
