"Residents of Santa Monica, California, were met with an unusual sight earlier this week when a bus full of people dressed as Homer Simpson poured into the streets. The visit appeared to be part of a promotional stunt for the newly launched "Fortnite x Simpsons" season of the popular online game, whose recent update introduced a Springfield-themed island. Leaning into Homer's well-known love of donuts, the costumed crowd gathered outside a Santa Monica donut shop, quickly drawing a crowd of puzzled bystanders and amused fans."
"Additional footage posted by Santa Monica Closeup shows an extended look at the gathering, capturing the chaos and the crowds that quickly formed around the costumed visitors. Folks had some thoughts about that many Homers. Folks felt bad for the people at the donut shop who had to deal with all the Homers. Many folks saw this for what it was and wanted to congratulate the marketing team. The Fortnite update is sure to be hotly anticipated, that's for sure."
