Become an M&M 

Turn yourself into a candy character

If you eat too much chocolate, can you really turn into an M&M? Well, only if you visit BecomeAnMM.com. As the name suggests, this site lets you create your own personalized M&M character. With the ability to select various eyes, hair styles, facial expressions and more, you'll soon be able to create your own M&M alter ego. Then save it to your computer to use as an IM avatar or email to friends.

Simpsonsize Me! 

Turn yourself into a Simpsons character

If you're a fan of The Simpsons, this is a great way to waste time on the Internet. To promote the launch of the first full-length big-screen Simpsons movie, Fox and Burger King launched Simpsonize Me.com.

Simply upload your photo and then answer a few questions, such as whether you're a dude or a chick, how old you are, and what's your clothing style. You'll then see a legal disclaimer in which you must "acknowledge that the crummy yellow 2-D likeness of my photo... is merely a genius marketing ploy" of Fox and Burger King. Then simply hit the Simpsonize! button and the aliens Kang and Kodos will turn your photo into a character from Springfield. It'll need a bit of tweaking, but with a few adjustments to hairstyles, body types and accessories, you'll soon be ready for Springfield.

Turn Yourself Into an Elf 

Become an elf and impress your friends with your dance skills

Elf Yourself is an extremely popular site that is only available during the Christmas holidays, and if you haven't discovered it yet, you must be living on an island or be having computer problems. Sponsored by Office Max, the site allows you to upload one to four photos and become a dancing elf. (Another Office Max site for the holidays lets you Scrooge Yourself). Be sure to bookmark it for the holidays.

Put Your Photo in an E-Greeting 

Sendables from JibJab let you be the star of your own animated greeting

JibJab became extremely popular during the 2004 election when their parody of George Bush and John Kerry singing and dancing in "This Land" became a huge hit on the web. They still create original animated videos, but now they're letting regular folks get in on the act with Sendables Starring You!. The "Starring You!" Sendables are electronic greeting cards that include your own face (or someone else's) in a (typically irreverent) short video greeting. Sign up for a free account and you'll get enough credits to send your first greeting.

JibJab in Action 

Here's an example of one of the JibJab Sendables that can be customized to include your own pictures. This one features a couple of politicians you might recognize.

Bush and Cheney Tap Dance!
