Sep 11 2007 Japanese Furious Over Simpsons Voices, Lack of Tentacle Rape

Thanks to Louie for pointing out that Japanese Simpsons nerds are in an uproar about the film's pending release in their country. Fox Japan plans to replace the current Japanese voice-acting cast with more popular television personalities in the hopes of making the film more popular, since most of Japan knows The Simpsons cast primarily as a family of lemonade drinking nudists (see above).

Fans have momentarily paused their incessant quoting to start a petition to stop the change here, because, as one nerdy fanboy said, "Shouldn't our voices change before theirs do?"

Jul 25 2007 Homer Does Monologue, Schneider Does Lohan

In case you missed it, and I'm assuming you did because who the hell watches Jay Leno anyway, here's Homer's monologue from last night's Tonight Show. Later in the show, Rob Schneider came in dressed as Lindsay Lohan (video after the jump). This is Rob Schneider's first foray into non-ethnic impressions in a while. Impressions are good because you can make bad jokes and when people don't laugh you just claim you were in character.

"What? No, I'm not making bad topical jokes about the astronaut from two months ago and catholic priests, I'm pretending to be Lindsay Lohan! Because she totally does that! Get it? I'm an actor."

It was brave of him to play Lindsay Lohan as a hacky, old school comic, not a lot of people would've take that risk. By the way, anyone else notice that even with platform shoes on, Schneider's still a head shorter than Jay Leno? Is he like 4' 11"?

Jul 18 2007 Strangers with Candy Meeting The Simpsons?

I'm really not sure how much of this is article is joking and how much is serious, but I've never been one to avoid blind speculation, erroneous reporting, or outright lying, so here it is: the characters from the Comedy Central cult favorite Strangers with Candy may find themselves animated, guest-starring in the 500th episode of The Simpsons. If true, it would mean two of my favorite things from high school that my mom didn't understand would be merging. Find a way to work in masturbating and "kick ass music" and it will be like I never graduated.

Jul 17 2007 Make Yourself a Simpson... Again

A few weeks ago, I reported that The Simpsons Movie site had a feature that allowed you to design your own character in the style of the cartoon. It seemed only obvious for me to make Ted Kaczynski.

Now Burger King, working in conjunction with the new movie, has another version of the same idea called "Simpsonize Me." This one allows you to upload a photo of yourself for the program to reference in creating your avatar, which you can then fine tune. Using his mug shot, I immediately made another Ted Kaczynski.

I think the first one actually worked better, but you can judge for yourself.

Make your own here.

Jun 29 2007 The Simpsons Movie Site Allows 'Simpsonification'

The Simpsons Movie site now has an amazing avatar feature where you can make yourself into a Simpsons character as easy as you make yourself into a tennis player in your little Wii thingy. Unfortunately, the system is more basic than I'd like, so if you have any distinctive characteristics like glasses, braces, or open sores, you're going to have to do without.

Do it for yourself here and see who you can make. I tried to do 'Unabomber' Ted Kaczynski, but I'm certain there are better options.

Jun 22 2007 Another The Simpsons Movie Trailer

This latest trailer for The Simpsons Movie looks funny enough that I think I'm willing to forget a few shitty seasons they've had and see this thing. Though that's how I got burned with Yes, Dear: the Movie...

In better quality here.
