Holy cow! Marge Simpson is posing for Playboy! I cannot believe it! Read the whole article here at Yahoonews.com.
My first reaction to this, is how completely cute. I have always thought of the Playboy magazine as one of the most tasteful “nudie” magazines out there. I have actually read some of the articles in them myself. The pictures however, really do not do much for me. The last time I read one was because Stephen King had written a story (or been interviewed, I really cannot remember).
My second reaction to this is, Wow! A cartoon character in a nudie mag! What they won’t do to sell a magazine. And seriously, will this sell the magazine? Their sales have been down quite a bit according the article, since about 2006. But a cartoon character? And of all characters, Marge Simpson? Why not Jessica Rabbit, or Betty Boop, a character with sex appeal? I do not know any thing about selling nudie magazines. Actually, I don’t know much about nudie magazines at all.
Anyway, Marge is the first cartoon character to be on the cover of the men’s magazine. She has been given a full interview and the centerfold, just as if she were a human being. The cover picture shows Marge sitting in a Playboy bunny chair; this is not the first time this pose has been used. In 1971, the very first black woman to be the “center of attention”. The people of the magazine thought that the readers would get a kick out of it. Which I am sure they will.
I really have nothing more on the subject, except this: “You Go Marge!”

This is hilarious. I think the magazine will sell a lot more of Marge Simpson then they would of Kim Kardashian. The reasoning being that everybody will be curious as to what it looks like and how far the magazine as well as the Simpson's creators will be willing to let this go.
