7-Elevens Converted to Kwik-E-Marts for The Simpsons Movie « FirstShowing.net
Everyone knows what the Kwik-E-Mart is and where it’s from, and with the upcoming Simpsons Movie hitting screens in less than a month, Fox is going all out to make sure we’re reminded of The Simpsons everywhere we go. The latest promotion they’ve put together is a nearly complete conversion of a number of 7-11 gas stations into Kwik-E-Marts, and I mean complete. The first photos have appeared online over at Flickr, and they’ve done a pretty good job of converting the place. Take a look at what is the first real life Kwik-E-Mart!
So some smart spammer decided to fake an email address in my domain to send out their spam. By now, you’d think that most mail admins would have figured this out, so sending an email back to me to tell me about the spam would be useless.
Think again.
In just this morning, I’ve received over 750 messages back from mail servers about this spam, everything ranging from "I’m sorry, we can’t deliver this message right now" to "Hey, jackass, stop spamming me!" Of course, even a mildly-retarded mail admin who’s been on Mars the past five years in a cave with his eyes shut and his fingers stuck in his ears would know I had nothing to do with this.
I have a filter to send these messages straight to the trash, so it really doesn’t affect me that much. Still, it boggles the mind to think that so many electrons are being wasted.
Repeat after me, kids - responding to a spammer doesn’t work!
I. Must. Have. This!
Watch this promo for Futurama’s return - TV Squad
Big huzzahs to reader John Geezer, who sent us a link to this fantastic promo for the upcoming new season of Futurama. The promo was created by Speed Bump Studios in an effort to get a job doing these for Comedy Central. It features a CGI version of Bender walking into a random house, drinking the owners’ wine, and stealing their candlesticks. "Hello, peasants!" he yells as he walks in. Really great stuff.
Create your own Simpsons character by picking hair, head, eyes, nose, etc. When using the print feature, only print the last page or you may get wasted prints.
Watch it while you can 
During the annual Comic-Con Simpsons panel, creator/exec producer Matt Groening and fellow exec producers James L. Brooks and Al Jean thrilled the crowd with some first glimpses at the eagerly awaited The Simpsons Movie.

Frink: It should be obvious to even the most dimwitted individual who holds an advanced degree in hyperbolic topology that Homer Simpson has stumbled into the third dimension. . . . (drawing on a blackboard) Here is an ordinary square.
