This is what I would look like if I was on the Simpsons. Create your own at www.simpsonsmovie.com!

I Went in Search of The Simpsons

So I held myself back from going to the nearest Quick-E-Mart (Click here for its location), but I went to my local 7-11 (falling for the promotion) to pick up some necessary Simpsons 'stuff'. I was very disappointed that my 7-11 did not have Buzz Cola, but I was able to pick up a Squishy and some Krusty-O's Cereal.

My one big let-down was that the sales clerks were not into it at all. I inquired about the Buzz Cola and they had absolutely no clue what I was talking about. Sure it wasn't one of the 11 full fledged Quick-E-Marts, but they could have tried, right? Oh well ... pictures below:

Genius

So 7-11 has re-branded a number of its stores nation-wide to become Kwik-E-Marts, the convenience store run by Aphu on the Simpsons. All I can say, is this is AWESOME. I posted earlier about the movie displays the Simpsons are using to promote this movie ... but I can see people (including myself) driving miles to see on of these 7-11 stores, taking pictures and sending them to their friends ... Pure Genius

I am a Sneezer

This is one of the best promotional techniques ever. First, movie studios make posters. Then, movie studios make big promotional boards in theaters. Now, finally a movie studio makes an interactive display for patrons (like me) to take pictures on their camera phones (like Heather) and send around to all of their friends, and put on their blogs (like me), facebook, myspace, etc ... Basically, The Simpsons Movie got promotion for their movie to all of the readers of my blog for free (which is about ... well ... 1 person).

Kudos to The Simpsons!
