There’s no chance in hell the forthcoming SIMPSONS MOVIE will be able to hold a candle to its syndicated parent property, but the film’s main marketing ploy of converting 7-11 stores into KWIK-E-MARTs is hall of fame material. The other day Burbank’s flagship Slurpee emporium was transformed into APU’s SoCal office and lines around the block lasted most of the day. Special Kwik-E products filled the store including Krusty-Os cereal, Buzz Cola, Homer’s favorite pink “Sprinkles” brand donuts, and Squishee machines. Booze hounds in search of Duff Beer were out of luck, however. Apparently Fox has had “enough of that wonderful stuff.” HAVE A LOOK INSIDE:

NYC///ART HYPE///MR BRAINWASH PERFECTS THE ART OF TURD POLISHING WITH THE OPENING OF “ICONS”

What has to be the final nail in the “Street Art” coffin was driven in last weekend by none other than MR. BRAINWASH (aka: “The Christian Audigier of Street Art”) when he opened his massive, self-produced “Icons” show in a rented space (which, ironically, was once a real art gallery, pre-recession) in the heart of Chelsea. As the subject of Brit Street Art king Banksy’s recent docu-parody film, “Exit Through The Gift Shop,” MBW has been the focus of much hype and speculation as his presence finally seeps into the fairly muddy stream of mainstream consciousness.
