No one asked for this 3D re-imagining of Homer Simpson but here it is
Kiss your nightmare-less nights goodbye. Artist Miguel Vasquez has created an image which will haunt you forever. It's a 3D rendering of what he believes Homer Simpson would look like if he were a real human being. I need you to look at each of these images so that I won't be the only witness to this horror. My 3D re-imagining of what Homer Simpson would look like in real life. pic.twitter.com/NVkyO65ItC — Miguel Vasquez (@Itsmiketheboxer) August 17, 2018 I don't know if it's the bulging eyes, the forehead veins, or the cartoonish proportions of his head that upsets me the most, or if it's just the whole thing altogether? SEE ALSO: Why 'The Simpsons' creator refused to watch 'Game of Thrones' while making his new show This isn't the first re-imagining of an iconic cartoon character that Vasquez has done. He has also created real life versions of Spongebob Squarepants , Courage the Cowardly Dog, the boys from Ed, Edd n Eddy , among many others. Now, if you'll excuse me I will be watching videos of Emperor Tamarin monkeys to cleanse my brain.

Ted Cruz has made a very serious enemy out of 'Simpsons' fans
Senator Ted Cruz didn't know what he stepped in when he decided to invoke the name of Lisa Simpson. During the 2018 Conservative Political Action Conference, Ted Cruz once again trotted out his supposed knowledge of pop culture. We know that the Texas senator loves The Princess Bride, but he also wants you to know he knows the names of each member of the The Simpsons . And he also wants to use them to make a very dubious political observation. In his speech Thursday, Cruz said, "The Democrats are the party of Lisa Simpson and Republicans are happily the party of Homer, Bart, Maggie, and Marge." Here's your line from @tedcruz at @CPAC: "The Democrats are the party of Lisa Simpson and Republicans are happily the party of Homer, Bart, Maggie and Marge." — Ben Kamisar (@bkamisar) February 22, 2018 If you're a Simpsons fan, we'll pause for you to gasp. SEE ALSO: These old 'Simpsons' sketches are everything you need and more We can safely guess that Lisa's activist ways, vegetarianism, creativity, and the fact that she's a smart, independent female, would all make Cruz wear a big frowny face. But naming the rest of the family ( including the baby ) as members of the Republican party seemed like a bridge too far for many online. If there's one nerdy fandom that will defend its characters with vitriol, episodic knowledge, and Harvard Lampoon-level jokes, it's the Simpsons fandom. For when you come for one of the yellow, Springfield-based brood, you come for them all. Didn't Lisa Simpson become president to replace President Trump in an old Simpsons episode? https://t.co/GgckYXu4B1 — Shane Goldmacher (@ShaneGoldmacher) February 22, 2018 isn't she the only good person in Springfield? — Andy Schwarz (@andyhre) February 22, 2018 maggie DID once shoot a man https://t.co/BDAa76s1K5 — Michæl Lu†z (@WarrenIsDead) February 22, 2018 can't wait for the Republican party to run Maggie Simpson and Mr. Burns's Gun in 2024 pic.twitter.com/PyTeAf8b2a — Jesse David Fox (@JesseDavidFox) February 22, 2018 2016 Simpson family votes:Marge: ClintonHomer: Told Marge he voted Clinton.

Donahue (@annetdonahue) February 22, 2018 my new conspiracy theory, which I believe with all my heart, is that Ted Cruz has never seen the Simpsons and a staffer just read the Wikipedia page to him — Sarah Jones (@onesarahjones) February 22, 2018 “I think the Democrats are the party of Lisa Simpson.” – Sen. Ted Cruz pic.twitter.com/rylfRZgnzA — Scott Bixby (@scottbix) February 22, 2018 Lisa Simpson is the moral conscience of The Simpsons according to the writers and creators. She is also the smartest person in the family. @tedcruz, you gotta up your pop culture analogy game, dude. https://t.co/2BWMjeHdux — Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) February 22, 2018 Homer was a union president https://t.co/UuTmoMx4yA — crisis actor who thinks he can 'win one for soros' (@thetomzone) February 22, 2018 Lisa's the smartest one in the family, the kind, responsible nerd who thinks about other people's feelings and cares about the environment and social causes. This is quite the compliment. Thanks, @TedCruz! https://t.co/jBgyPDMTug — Tasha Robinson (@TashaRobinson) February 22, 2018 And of course, it wasn't too terribly long ago that the Republican party saw The Simpsons as a real source of evil, poisoning the minds of America's youths. Never forget that the first President George Bush said that, "we need a nation closer to The Waltons than The Simpsons. " What a short memory Ted Cruz has. Talking about The Simpsons always works out really well for Republicans. https://t.co/aObhfkeFDJ pic.twitter.com/qMsttn4IGs — Erik Malinowski (@erikmal) February 22, 2018 WATCH: A designer's vision of the future involves robots that care for us in our final moments
