The new Simpsons Avatars!
With The Simpsons movie on its way out (”Spider-pig, spider-pig, does whatever a spider-pig does”) there’s loads of cool Simpsons marketing out there at the moment.
On the official site you can create an avatar of yourself (and screen grab = not needing to register - woohoo!). I’m sure many of you saw the picture of the enormous ‘chalk’ Homer that has apparently annoyed pagans everywhere.
Anyway - if you haven’t already you should go watch the trailer.
As you may have seen, my main article today is a load of iPod competitors. It’s always fairly tough doing a piece like this and covering all the bases, but I think it’s a fairly decent summation of what is out there.
Personally, I remember having a Creative Zen Xtra Jukebox that was absolutely brilliant for its time - although it’s sat on a shelf gathering dust now because I borked its operating system trying to install an upgrade.
Still - it lasted longer than my shuffle which went walkies out of my pocket one day and is probably now attached to someone else’s lapel somewhere. I just hope they listened to Cola Bear’s classic track ‘Second Time Today’ before they wiped it…
