I found the Simpsonizer, a little web-gadget included as part of Burger King’s promotional tie-in with the release of The Simpsons Movie, and wanted to give it a try. Since I don’t have a current image of myself (that I don’t mind using at least), I chose my bestest online friend Philip as a candidate for an Extreme Makeover: Springfield Edition.
I started with an image I borrowed from his site (clicky on his link under the blogroll), Phil with Heroes actor Sendhil Ramamurthy:

Then, I used Photoshop to cut Sendhil out (sorry Phil! The first attempt picked Sendhil’s face instead of yours):

I then submitted the photo, the Simpsonizer chewed on it, and then after a few alterations…VOILA!! Springfield’s newest resident:

I hope to have my own online soon. In the meantime, I cordially invite my other readers (both of you) to submit yourself after undergoing simpsonization. The application is at www.simpsonizeme.com
Well, there goes Phil, off to another star-studded event. BCNU Phil! HUGZ!!

OMG, Sora, you shouldn’t have! You Simpsonized me! LOL, I don’t look like me at all, hahaha!
I came across the Simpsoniser before when the movie came out, but I never really thought of giving it a try and also because I couldn’t find a proper picture I wanted. But that’s really cool, thanks Sora!
Can’t wait to put it up my blog! Hahaha! Cheers Sora, love ya and hugs to ya! Take care!

“I don’t look like me at all…”
that turned out eerily close to the real thing. I suppose if I ‘Shopped it a little I could tighten yours up, but really I was just trying to get a chuckle out of you, and it looks like I did. Give it a try, it’s fun! Maybe you could surprise your “pet sister”?
Yeah, that’s a program shortcoming I think. Given the options available, this was as close as I could get. I’ve been trying other pix of other folks that I may post on *another* board
