The Simpsons To Advertise The New Renault Kangoo

The Simpsons will advertise the new Renault Kangoo minivan in a new international ad campaign which is starting this coming Saturday (Feb 9). Three new print ads have been revealed, showing the Simpson family making the most out of the vehicle's features.

The fully-reclining seats are perfect for stealing the Christmas tree off the City Hall lawn; the seating arrangement is comfortable enough to replace the couch as the primary tv-watching location; and the overhead storage bins are ideal for hiding Homer's secret fast-food stash. The campaign puts the Simpsons in our world, instead of creating an animated Kangoo for them to drive.
