Homer Simpson on a TomTom PND
This will go great with my "Simpsons Sing the Blues" cassette. TomTom

Homer Simpson joins the ranks of Mr. T and John Cleese as a downloadable custom voice for TomTom portable navigation devices. Fans of the longest-running American prime time entertainment series can now listen to Homer "woohoo" and "d'oh!" his way through your turn-by-turn directions. Along the way, Homer adds his own commentary such as, "Take the third right. We might find an ice cream truck! Mmm... ice cream."

The official Homer Simpson voice was recorded by Dan Castellaneta, the same voice actor from the television show, and is available for download using the TomTom Home software suite for $12.95 (or 9.95 euro if you're in the European Union).

I'm still holding my breath for a "Family Guy" Peter Griffin custom voice, but click the link to hear samples of Homer on a TomTom.
