Marge Simpson Poses For Playboy 413
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!

In fact, Hefner's magazine has finished the jump, but finished low and smacked into the face of the landing ramp, and it's now struggling to remove its skis and swim free of the shark pen, while being circled by the Brazzer Shark and eyed hungrily by the PiR0Nahs.

Playboy jumped the shark loooooong time ago.
I found the quote about appealing to 20-somethings particularly funny for a couple reasons.
A 20-something has never seen a relevant current issue of Playboy, and likely cannot remember a relevant current episode of The Simpsons.
I mean, I think The Simpsons is still funny, but the time when it was ground breaking entertainment spurring on social examination of how the modern American family is portrayed on television, those days are long gone.
And I don't mean to make a lot of folks feel old, but Simpsons has been on the air for 20 years. The big fans are not 20-somethings anymore. We're 30- and 40-somethings.

I grew up looking at playboy in my teens in the 90s. Now I look back on issues from the 60s and 70s and damn it was so much better back then.
As for the Simpsons, the fans of the current show are younger. They don't know how good it was and how far it's fallen. Maybe there's a similar dynamic at work with Playboy.

That may indeed be part of it. I remember being in the 3rd or 4th grade when the series was somewhat new and my mom not allowing me to watch the Simpsons because it was seen as morally repulsive. South Park took the Simpson's place in that department LONG ago (and I'll admit that as an adult, I sure to like South Park a lot more than the Simpsons now). These days the Simpsons is pretty much considered good ol' fashioned family-friendly television.
