Continuing our fascination with cartoons and their various transformations, we want to introduce the TrendHunter community to this really amusing live action version of The Simpsons from a Spanish TV show called Cruz y Raya. The dialogue takes place in Spanish but even if you don't understand what they are saying (Marge is scolding Homer for watching too much TV), it is pretty funny and definitely very, very creepy in a fascinating sort of way.
