Springfield Meets Reality

GiggleSugar — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 02:00:00 -0700

The Simpsons Movie will hit theaters at the end of the month and a number of 7-11s across the country have been temporarily converted to Kwik-E-Marts to promote the release and make good Springfield citizens of us all. Thirsty? Try a frosty Squishee! Got the midnight munchies? How about a big bowl of Krusty-Os? Need a good laugh? Pick up a "Radioactive Man" comic book. Or just pay attention to the smart-ass advertising posted all over the store and product packaging. And, of course, there's Bart...or, at least, remnants of "El Barto" left as graffiti all over the walls. Ay Caramba!

Is Your Local 7-Eleven Now a Kwik-E-Mart?

YumSugar — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 03:48:39 -0700

Did you notice anything different at your local 7-Eleven this weekend? Like perhaps a small Kwik-E-Mart makeover? If so, then your 7-Eleven was one of twelve stores to receive a promotional Simpsons Movie facelift. The facelift included removing the 7-Eleven logo and replacing it with a Kwik-E-Mart one instead. They (and most of the 6,000 North American 7-Elevens) will also offer items previously only seen in the land of Homer and pals, including: Squishees, KrustyOs and Buzz Cola. The craziest part is that unlike most promotional campaigns, this time it's the retailer (7-Eleven), and not the movie studio (Fox) who is picking up the tab - reportedly "somewhere in the single millions." To see if you live near one of the converted stores, check out the Kwik-E-Mart locator.

I personally don't have one that close to me, but I did stop by a 7-Eleven to partake in a Squishee. I opted for a mix of sour watermelon and cherry. What flavor would you have chosen?

TV Tonight: The 400th Episode of "The Simpsons"

BuzzSugar — Sun, 20 May 2007 13:01:23 -0700

After a week of sad season and series finales - I'm still feeling weepy over "Gilmore Girls," "Ugly Betty," and "Grey's" - I'm glad that we have some more lighthearted fare to look forward to tonight as "The Simpsons" wraps up its 18th season. The one-hour finale (actually two separate episodes) starts with a parody of "24," then concludes with the series' whopping 400th episode.

Of the two, I'm most excited about the parody, "24 Minutes," with Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Rajskub voicing cartoon versions of Jack and Chloe. The skeptic in me wants to point out that it's a nice bit of cross-promotion for the season finale of "24" on Monday; the "Simpsons" fan in me thinks this episode is going to be awesome. The second half-hour - the one that's technically No. 400 - is called "You Kent Always Say What You Want," featuring news anchor Kent Brockman going on a profanity-laced tirade after Homer spills coffee on his lap while the two are on live TV.
