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!

    This spread is worthless without pink.

    I'm surprised Marge would do it. It seems out of character for her, especially considering she is a member of Springfield's Citizens' Committee on Moral Hygiene...

    To put in a way that slashdotters may understand, it is like an article featuring a new sports car that does not mention its horsepower.

    It was revealed by Homer in Secrets of a Successful Marriage that Marge dyes her hair with blue dye #56; "She’s been gray as a mule since she was seventeen."

    Did you read the article? This was done to increase Playboy's sagging sales.

    She also supported Michelangelo's David in an earlier episode if memory serves, and has watched "snuggle" films with Homer. The character seems to have an European view of morality. Very much against violence, but rather lax on nudity and sexuality.

    I gave up long ago even trying to find something sexy in an issue of Playboy. Between air-brushing, filters (the ones that make the entire shot pinkish or blueish), and post-editing, you're no longer looking at a real woman. In fact it often almost looks like a painting, rather than a photograph.

    And this is by no means an insult to the models, who are very nice looking in person.
