For years, lines have been drawn...and then colored in yellow. Create your own Simpsons Avatar while you wait for the movie to come out as July nears its end. If you live in Springfield, you may be lucky enough to make it to the premier. 20th Century Fox is holding a contest to select 1 of 16 possible Springfields (spanning from Oregon to Nebraska to Massachusetts) to decide which city will host the debut. For the entire month of July 2007, as part of a campaign to hype the July 27th opening of the movie, 11 “7-Elevens” stores all over North America changed their names to Kwik-E-Marts, and begun selling products like Buzz Cola, movie doghnuts, KrustyO's cereal, and Squishees --including WooHoo! Blue Vanilla flavor. It was decided that Duff Beer would not be sold due to the movie being rated PG-13, and the promoters wanted to have "good, responsible fun," though it was noted that it was a tough decision (not one that they battled long enough over in my opinion) There's already a blog dedicated to the redoux, and a few Flikr albums worth perusing. More info is available at wiki if you simply must know more.
