Friday fun: visit Springfield & make a Simpsons avatar

Why not end the week with some fun. The Simpsons feature movie hits the big screen at the end of the month so Homer & company have a full marketing campaign going on. You can visit the town of Springfield right here and interact in various locations. Since I’m already a cartoon head, I decided to try my hand at morphing myself into a Simpsons character. It didn’t take long and it’s about the best I can do with the choices provided. Of course, when I had the mustache and  slightly longer hair, YouTubers around the world noticed I was a dead ringer for Ned Flanders, but ’nuff said there. ;)

Head into Springfield for your own avatar…who wants to edit Word docs in the office on a Friday afternoon anyway?
