[UPDATE: July 19, 2007: See an update on the controversy]
We posted a piece in March about the new "Simpsons" movie and the tie-in that's turning 7-Eleven stores into Kwik-E-Marts in honor of Apu, one of the stars of Springfield. Well, the makeovers of the stores have happened - complete with Apu nametags for clerks and giant Apu dolls.
Manish Vij at Ultrabrown.com has been covering the reaction - both good and bad - via several posts here, here, here. So when CNN went looking for someone to talk about the makeovers, they naturally turned to Vij. He was on CNN Tuesday night on "Paula Zahn Now" and you can watch the video here or see the YouTube version below.
