Turn Yourself Into a Simpsons Character
Absolutely brilliant! Good fun to Simpsonize (potentially former) friends, family, and colleagues - And create your very own unreal-life Simpsons episode... A tip - it kept falling over when I tried to download the picture, and just failed for eternity. So, take a screen capture (press the "Prn Scrn" key), and then ctrl+V into photoshop.
