The lead up to the Simpsons Movie has been quite a ride--promos are running rampant in the form of 7-11 Kwik-E-Marts, a barrage of ads, and also the ubiquitous Simpson's Avatars, which have been popping up on Flickr, Facebook, MySpace...pretty much anywhere you can stick or find your own face on the net (which is everywhere, let's be honest). And now, you can even take odds on your favourite character:

Actually, it’s quite possible and in fact is true. The boy who happily eats paste and takes orders from Leprechauns has ousted Mr. Burns from our best Simpsons character tournament. Now he’ll have to take on Homer. Too tall a task for Ralphie boy? It might be, but we sure didn’t see him getting this far. The thinking here is that whoever wins this match will easily beat the winner of Moe Szyslak vs. Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. But, hey, what do we know. We had Mr. Burns in the Final Four.

So here's our take: NowPublic staffers are going to post our own Simpsons avatar with this story, and you get to vote (in the comments, below) for your favourite character. Not only that, we're going to reach out and get some other folks to contribute their avs too, just to mix it up. The one with the most votes will win. So start your commenting!

I think that blonde with the donut is super realistic and YUMMY!!! (and just BTW... My Jordan is a bit more realistic... though Jordan's Jordan is cool, it's true).
