A couple of days ago, while I was watching Fox Major League Baseball, they showed an ad for free Simpsonization. By submitting a closely cropped picture of someone's face to www.simpsonizeme.com (and, as I figure out later, www.simpsonizeme.co.uk) the little program will turn this person into a Simpson-esque character. It's a tie-in to the new Simpson's movie that opened today in North America. I took the .png's that you can save and added me (the guy on the left of Homer), Guy (the naked guy), and Sabrina and Narv (far right) onto a picture of gonch-Homer I found by "the Google". The program is impressively accurate. Below are the actual pictures I submitted and close-ups of the Simpsonizations the website kicked out. Unfortunately, there are a few bad thing about the site. One, it doesn't do kids well (my 20 month old niece comes out as a 30ish Chinese Pipi Longstocking double) and, due to high traffic, the site is hard to get on to and when you do get on, it's very, very excruciatingly slow.
