Simpsonize Me
Posted by pfitz under Humor, Miscellaneous
You’ve probably heard that the Simpsons Movie is coming out this summer. Specifically, this Friday. The website has lots of fun things, including making your own Simpsons-style avatar and, of course, games. Seems like every movie has a website where you can play games related to the movie.
Anyway, there’s also a related website where you can upload a photo and “simpsonize” it. The website is pretty busy and often slow. I had to try several times just to get the page to load. Also, I haven’t been successful in saving the image I created or even emailing it to myself. I had to to a PrintScreen and paste the image into MS Paint and cut out just the image. Anyway, that’s what’s displayed here. I had to work hard to find a picture that would work. It has to be a closeup of the head and shoulders, with decent contrast and a big enough size. They tell you all that on the site, though.
If you Simpsonize a photo of yourself, please comment on my post here with a link to your new picture.

I just had to keep trying. I tried several different pictures and had to go through the process a couple times, but eventually it worked. Still couldn’t save it or email it, but got the image anyway.

As I said, it’s not perfect and has some performance issues and probably very high traffic. But if you’re patient and use a good photo, it CAN work. Especially if you keep trying.

I had problem with the page loading at first. I tried it the next day and it worked fine but now it keeps sayings it’s analyzing my picture and it keeps counting down. When the timer hits zero it jumps back up and counts down again……
