The Simpsons Phenomenon


In the first edition of 5 Things You Didn't Know About Chile, you may recall that I tossed out the (somewhat bold) statement that "In Chile, The Simpsons are bigger than Jesus."  Now, just to show that that's not something I take lightly, I have compiled pictures of a few of the Simpson-themed things I've come across during my time here... 

Cookies
Buses

Towels
 Posters
 Foam hats
 Binders
 Notebooks
 
More Notebooks
 Sippy Cups
Murals
 Mugs
Handmade Mugs
 T-Shirts
 Pillows
 Cologne and Shampoo/Shower Gel Sets
 Puppets
 
Bars

and the best of all...
Actual Duff Beer!


(Today Colo-Colo won, Concha Su Madre!!)


Still not convinced?  Here are some other places the Simpsons have been showing up lately...



 Hiding behind the dog chow at the local mini mart...

 In some street art by the beach...

 
In more street art...on the way to Agro

 In comcast ads...

 In the academy...

In the doctor's office...
 
 On T-shirts...

 In Bingo Games...

 On backpacks...

 In plush form...
On floats...
  
In weird costumes...


And my new personal favorite, in the flesh!  Here we have Homero next to a street preacher in Bellavista which really feels like it was created specifically in response to my comment about The Simpsons being bigger than Jesus in Chile.  You'll have to watch the clip to see whose in the lead now...
