Now that Shrek-mania, Spider-mania, Pirates-mania, Transformers-mania, Rat-mania, Potter-mania and Evan Almighty-mania have come and gone this summer it's time for Simpsons-mania to rev itself up in anticipation of The Simpsons theatrical release at the end of this month. What better way to get into the swing of things than to vote for your favorite Simpsons character.

That's easily done, courtesy of The Chicago Tribune's Redeye website. The first round of voting featured sixteen match-ups. Among those competing were Homer versus Selma and Patty, Marge versus Fat Tony, and Bart versus Principal Skinner. The best match-up, according to the website, was Comic Book Guy versus Apu. Out of nearly 10,000 responses Apu beat C.B.G. with 62% of the vote.

In the second round there are eight match-ups. This time around Homer is up against Ned Flanders, Ralph Wiggum competes against Lisa, and Lenny and Carl go toe-to-toe with Apu. If you are interested in voting please make your selections quickly as polls close at noon on July 18th. Oh, and if you are a ginormous Simpsons fan the staff at Redeye may want to interview you for an upcoming article. Just go to their website to learn more.
