Hello, I'm Calling For Amanda Huggenkiss
Bart Simpson's famous phone pranks on barkeep Moe may soon be coming to a phone near you. Fox studios reports that they have made a deal to release content from The Simpsons to the mobile carriers. Initially, the content will go to Vodafone customers in Europe and Asia, but eventually will be globally distributed. The Simpsons is translated and shown around the world, with a global audience of 300M. Initial content for wireless will include ring tones, animated picture messages, wall paper and screen savers.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
