It’s Official. The Simpsons Have Co-opted Everything.

D’oh! How did we miss this last week? Limited edition Simpsons Vans were issued to celebrate the release of “The Simpsons Movie” with Matt Groening illustrating the twelve commissioned artists — including L.A. tattoo artist Mr. Cartoon, a.k.a. Mark Machado, who designed these Homeriffic kicks with the cholo flair (click to enlarge, ese)— to be used as the shoes’ hangtags. Those of us over here who are sneaker freaks wouldn’t mind getting our grubby, little hands on these. Unfortunately, they all sold out in the first week. Damn that Matt Groening. He’s an evil, marketing genius.
