Thank You, Come Again

I'm a Simpsons fan from way back, so when I found out that I could visit a Kwik-E-Mart nearby, I was sold. Several 7-11s around the country have been morphed to look like the Kwik-E-Mart in the show to promote the upcoming Simpsons movie (wait, I just promoted The Simpsons Movie. I feel so used). I was feeling kind of weird about bringing my camera to take pictures. I thought there might be one or two other nerds taking pictures, but um, not so much. It was a scene. People everywhere taking pictures. Guy in the first picture even has a tripod. So, I figured I would just blend in with the other nerds. Inside there was even a line for Slurpees/Squishees. I didn't get a Squishee because I wasn't craving sugar. They were supposed to have Krusty-O's cereal for purchase, but I didn't see any. And I think the Buzz cola was just a different cup for the self-serve drinks. So I passed.

Judging from the crowd, the Simpsons is quite a multi-cultural phenomenon. Who knew?

I love that there's no reference whatsoever to 7-11. Oh, and a BMW station wagon and a Lexus in front of a 7-11? It doesn't get more Dallas than that. Vomit.


Even the gas pumps have been totally Kwik-E-ized.





Even grandmas came out for this thing. I wonder if she was mad that there was no Abraham Simpson cutout?

Worst nachos ever.

This was my favorite part. All of the workers were wearing shirts like Apu's, and they had "Apu" nametags.

The official "movie donut"

You know these people have to be hating life right now.

UPDATE: Here is what I would look like as a Simpsons character! Scary!
