I think it's starting to get too much. This question and the one on gender are completely covered by this previous one: http://www.hubdub.com/m57075/What_will_be_The_Simpsons_user_generated_Best_Character_Ever

@bernardo - This is for the age of the creator of character whereas the other question is for the character itself.

@kruijs - Although I'm impressed by your creativity, there are getting to be quite a few of these... Lets make sure we don't dilute the market with too many of them!
