Another big hit from the Simpson’s buzz creating engine – in the August edition of Harper’s Bazaar there is a nice spread of the Simpson’s characters drawn as members of the fashion world. Follow these two links to see the whole spread and get a flare for the depth of the research and execution that went into the illustrations:

The Simpson’s buzz has permeated so many different arenas. I am more than impressed. I read a post saying they thought the marketing is done in desperation and the time for Simpsons has passed.
Regardless of the box office outcome…. I don’t know any other movie or event that has everyone on the internet making icons of themselves on twitter, or standing in lines to get into 7-Eleven.
The marketing is brilliant. Below is a Technorati Chart of Simpson’ blog post traffic for the last year. Notice the huge recent spikes.
