Marge Simpson Poses For Playboy
caffiend666 writes "'Marge Simpson is posing for Playboy . The magazine is giving the star of The Simpsons the star treatment, complete with a data sheet, an interview and a 2-page centerfold. 'We knew that this would really appeal to the 20-something crowd,' said Playboy spokeswoman Theresa Hennessey. Playboy even convinced 7-Eleven to carry the magazine in its 1,200 corporate-owned stores, something the company has only done once before in more than 20 years." Worst issue ever!
You're and idiot.
or other porn magazines. I don't think my wife would like me reading them.
But usually there are WWE Divas who pose for Playboy, but I think this is the first time a Simpsons character posed for Playboy. Is Playboy becoming softcore now in that it uses cartoon characters instead of real people? Who next? Jane Jetson from the Jetsons, Willma Flintstone from the Flintstones, Betty Rubble from The Flintstones, Lois Griffin from Family Guy, Leela from Futurerama, Amy Wong from Futurerama, Mary Jane Watson from Spider-Man? Will Playboy turn into a cartoon centerfold magazine or spin off a new magazine called Playboy Cartoon about nude cartoon characters for 20something young men? Is Playboy going after the Japanese Henti market or just trying to appeal to a younger readership? What if this attracts boys younger than 18 to read Playboy like 10, isn't that like marketing cigarettes using cartoon characters for kids? I know the magazine is sold to adults only, but if someone's father or uncle has an issue on the coffee table won't that get some boys to at least peek inside the cover?
Remember, Slashdot does not have a -1 disagree moderation, and no, troll, flamebait, and overrated are not substitutes.
But then I realized I live in a world that just awarded Barrack Obama a Nobel Peace prize. In that light, it's all starting to make more sense.
