Manchester Gets Simpsonized!

It's the new craze sweeping across the internet - everybody is turning themselves into a character from cult TV show The Simpsons.

The new phenomenon - called ' Simpsonizing ' - is spreading like wildfire on community and friends sites like MySpace and Facebook .

Millions of people across the world have turned portrait photographs of themselves into the infamous 'yellow' caricatures which have proved such a hit on the cartoon series.

The M.E.N. decided to try out the new craze on some of Manchester's best-known celebrities in a bid to see what all the fuss is about.

And the results, though mixed, were nevertheless hilarious.

We also gave the Simpsons treatment to Burnage-born Oasis stars Noel and Liam Gallagher - whose caricatures even have their trademark bushy eyebrows.

And perhaps one of the funniest caricatures is Simply Red star Mick Hucknall with his flame-coloured hair.

Bolton boxer Amir Khan was also given a Simpsons-style make-over and still looks as though he would be able to tough it out on the streets of Springfield.
