Kwik-E-Marts made real As a tie-in with the upcoming Simpsons Movie, eleven 7-11 stores are going to rebrand themselves as Kwik-E-Marts, complete with KrustyOs and Buzz cola. No word on the availability of Duff Beer or how many people named Apu will be needed. via.
  • Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart? I doooooooooooo..!
  • Let's hurl a bricky-mart!
  • HOLD THE FRIKKIN' PHONE -- there's no link for CANADA, but there's one for a country named U-R-GUAY? What the hell?!?
  • hey, I-R-GUAY, you got a problem widdat?
  • Not at all -- I was just making a Simpsons reference with that. Homer was reading a globe, and found a country called U-R-GUAY. Damned if I can remember the episode, though. Sorry if I caused any offense, Queso. Not my intention at all.
  • Aah -- here we go. Again, sorry, Queso. My blind patriotism left me, uh, blind to simple sensitivity.
  • oh my goodness.... did i forget my and tags? Carry on...
  • *shares his forbidden sandwich with the Capt.
  • *
  • You are gentleman, sir!
  • Now back to the matter at hand... Where's Canada?
  • Cana-wha?
  • Homer to Queen Elizabeth: "I know we don't call as often as we should and we aren't as well behaved as our goodie two-shoes brother Canada. Who by the way has never had a girlfriend. I'm just saying."
  • So does anyone here think the Simpsons movie is not going to suck?
  • They should find 7-11's in towns called springfield and makeover those!
  • you're probably onto something karmakaze.... there's probably eleven Springfields in the US.
  • *is pulling for Springfield, MO to win the movie premiere*
  • The South Park movie didn't suck at all. Why would the Simpsons movie? (Not a rhetorical q. I haven't seen a Simpsons episode in many years, and hadn't heard of the movie until this post. There could well be grounds for obvious and massive suckage... I just don't know.)
  • Wait, so that joke translates to Italian, French, German, and Spanish? Or does it end up being a different joke in all those languages?
  • The Uruguay joke, I mean.
  • Uruguay is a native American word meaning (according to Wiki) "river of colorful or 'painted' chinchillas." Maybe that's the gag. Homer is saying "river of painted chinchillas" in all those other languages. I chuckle just to think about it. River of painted chinchillas...
  • The South Park movie didn't suck at all. Why would the Simpsons movie? Because The Simpsons has been on auto-pilot for the last ten years. For a long time it was the best show on television, but like all good programmes they've run out of steam. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the South Park movie. More often than not, the movie version of a popular television show ends up be a letdown at best.
  • What spoobnooble says: Jumping the Shark
  • If there is a Monkey God in Monkey Heaven, somewhere there will be a Kwik-E-Mart with an R2D2 mailbox outside.
  • What WON'T those funny corporations do to get into your pockets?
  • Provide a valuable service at a reasonable price without victimizing their workers?
  • There are more good seasons of the Simpson's than bad. I recommend watching more than seasons 3-5, spoogenooble.
  • Actually, fooliosis, I'd say seasons one through seven are worthy. But then again once we start in with the name-calling via cleverly-respelled nicks, then any further debate on the issue is moot.
  • It'd be cool of the snuck a bag of Bachelor Chow onto the shelf.
  • mmmm . . veggie hotdogs . .
  • I refuse to go into any of those stores unless they up their hire quotas for Indian gentlemen.
