MAKERS of the hit cartoon The Simpsons have a filmed the show's opening titles using real actors. In the hit viral going around the world we get to see what Bart, Homer, Marg, Lisa and Maggie would look like if they were humans.
And you can be among the first to watch the hilarious titles, filmed over 18 months in Britain, by clicking one of the links below.

The clip re-enacts the title sequence to a tee beginning with the camera zooming into a schoolroom to see a blonde Bart scribbling lines on the blackboard.
Simpson’s maker Matt Groening has approved the human version of the show’s opening credits to promote the brand new series.

Bart ... copies blackboard scene

Sky One will broadcast the promo as its viewers gear up for the The Simpson's 17th season which begins on March 20.

An insider said: "We're really excited about it.

"We used regular actors, not so much for their resemblance - as you can't copy a bunch of yellow characters - but becuase you can easily identify with them."
A balding actor plays Homer as he leaves work dropping some nuclear waste out of the window on the way home.

The opening montage ends with the whole family squeezed on the settee ready to watch the cartoon version of the show.

Live-action "Simpsons" video goes viral online
By Adam Pasick 45 minutes ago


LONDON (*******) - A video that recreates the introduction to "The Simpsons" with live actors is spreading across the Internet faster than Homer can say "D'oh" -- part of a viral marketing campaign by satellite broadcaster BSkyB.
Painstakingly crafted by Sky and its ad agency Devilfish, the video was originally intended as an on-air promotion for the Sky One network, which airs new episodes of "The Simpsons" in the UK.
The company decided to release it on the Internet as part of a word-of-mouth brand building exercise, tapping into the red-hot Web video sector.
"If we had only showed it on air, you might turn to someone and say that was really cool," said BSkyB communications director Matthew Anderson. "Putting it online, there's a fantastic discussion between millions of people -- it's bringing the Simpsons to them instead of having them tune in."
After less than a week, the video has been viewed millions of times at online video sites like YouTube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=49IDp76kjPw) and Google Video.
The move to create word-of-mouth "viral" content follows similar guerrilla marketing efforts from major advertisers such as Nike and Microsoft, and comes amid a concerted push by traditional media companies to expand their online businesses.
The live-action Simpsons video is a remarkably faithful live-action re-enactment of the animated show's title sequence, although diligent fans quickly picked up on small discrepancies that betrayed its British origins, including "Marge Simpson" driving in a car with the steering wheel on the "wrong" side.
The booming popularity of Internet video has raised fears about online piracy after the boom in file-sharing that decimated the music industry.
The "Simpsons" video was intended to spread freely, and Anderson said that Sky worked closely with Simpsons producers and creator Matt Groening. Global media conglomerate News Corp owns "The Simpsons" as well as about a third of BSkyB.
In recent weeks some media companies have cracked down on unauthorised distribution of their content.
YouTube was recently forced by U.S. broadcaster NBC to take down video from "Saturday Night Live" that had been widely shared online. NBC is now hosting the video clips, including a spoof gangster rap by actress Natalie Portman, on its own advertising-supported site (www.nbc.com/Video/videos/snl_1439_natalieraps.shtml.)
"Now, instead of searching the web for 'borrowed' NBC highlights, you can go to the source! We've taken your viral favourites and gathered them into one convenient location," the site reads.
