Best. Simpsons Avatar. Ever.
Posted by The Jay under Film , Life and Times of The Jay , Miscellaneous Pop CulturePeep the Simpsonized The Jay!

I think it’s a pretty awesome likeness. I dig being yellow, as it’s a nice break from being Casper-pale and/or Kool Aid red, depending on how much sun I got that week. The best part about being yellow is that if Biff Tannen ever challenged me to a fight, but I walked away and then he taunted me with “What are you, yellow?”, instead of getting all huffy like Marty McFly and end up getting chased on a makeshift skateboard through 1955-era Hilldale, I could just say “Yeah Biff, I am. What’s it to you?” then walk away like a bad ass. Some real color on my skin and moting the Tannen family? It’s a win-win situation.
Really, the only problem with the animation is that my Simpsons Avatar doesn’t have that certain, what’s the word… ah yes, “dickiness”, that my real visage exudes. Simpsonized Jay looks like a relatively harmless dude, probably works the boom mike for Kent Brockman, or pulls middle management in the HR department at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He dates a nice burnt sienna-colored girl and has season tickets to the Sprinfield Atoms. People like him. Even Snake, Springfield’s resident criminal (and my favorite character) is like “Who ho, that dude is OK! No robbing that guy till after Christmas.”
Real Jay, however, has a look that says “Who brought the dick? Oh, that’s right, I did! I always do! IN YOUR FACE. You’ve just been pwned!” Which, incidentally, is the look I’m going for.
Either way, this is a sweet promotional gimmick by The Simpsons Movie (which you can check out HERE). I can’t wait to plug a picture of Reese Witherspoon into the Simpsonize Machine and see how fugly I can make her. I tell you, what with this latest development and Book 7 Day rapidly approaching, how can you not be enjoying life? A new Harry Potter book and defiling a defenseless Reese Witherspoon… and I thought my birthday was last week!
Bangarang!
Btw: If you send me your Simpsons Avatars, I’ll post them on the site in a big Simpsonized user pic post.

[…] predilection for mixing TheJay.com and actual pop culture is well-documented. From getting Simpsonized to becoming a liscensed member of the McLovin clan, I can’t resist the urge to meld my two […]
