I may even pay to go see it.
Simpsons fan or not, this is really fun: create your Simpsons avatar on the site.
I clearly could have used this feature a long time ago; I took things into my owns hands last year and it didn't end well. The Simpsons me that was born today:
The official-issue avatar me possesses loads of goofy charm that I completely lack (i.e., it's a Simpson), but I didn't get any leeway on the shirt-pants-shoes combo and couldn't find my real haircolor.
In any case, you can download your avatar, and if you save it, you'll become a resident of virtual Springfield. My love for the Simpsons institution means I owe it to them to suspend my skepticism over the new face of the Simpsons, the risky "we're finally doing the movie" move, and the clever marketing swamp.
This is one of those extremely rare instances where I'm unambivalently and unabashedly square in the middle of a product's crazed niche audience, and I'm just gonna wade right into it. Or in other words, "Mmm... virtual donut..."
