The link above directs you to MSN news, where the article describes it in a bit more detail. Is it wrong to have a cartoon character in a magazine like Playboy? Or is the concept of beauty itself enough? Please, discuss.

Ooh. I heard about this a few days ago.

Is it wrong to be slightly aroused?
Personally, I think Playboy isn't really about the concept of beauty, more the concept of booty.
So it's fine.

Oh My God, who cares?!?! Hey, I just answered two threads at once.

What? Really, why? what's the point?

 

[BlackJack47]

Marge FTW

I don't see why not, shes a idol of the American Housewife

 

[flaming_squirrel]

I find it quite perplexing as to why this has happened now, considering that the Simpsons has pretty much had it's high point some time ago and is now declining into shittyness.

well she's already got lots of hentai...but to have this in a mainstream magazine is just weird

The first step for cartoon pr0n becoming mainsteam perhaps? It does seem a bit odd.

Well, since Marge Simpson is this prudish Suzy Homemaker, it would make sense for Playboy to want her on the cover.

 

[axia777]

That is so lame. Jessica Rabbit FTW.

 

[wrecker77]

What what what!!!??

This is....creepy.... But then again, rule 34.

 

[joystickjunki3]

Meh. I'm on the side of the concept of beauty, but Playboy is more into the marketing of sex appeal.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Its just a gimmick, not a big deal

Porn! Porn! Oh my god it's not pr0n it's PORN! Grow some balls for God's sake!

On Topic... Meh. I'm fairly certain the guys who did Hellgate : London got a topless CG Templar in Playboy once. Having that as the front page is a bit wierd, but maybe parents will buy it for their kids thinking it's a toy and then ge... Sorry, I drifted off into Grand Theft Auto there.

If Marge Simpson is getting in Playboy, how long will it be until other characters start appearing in it?

 

[soaringbiscuit]

Oh My God, who cares?!?! Hey, I just answered two threads at once.

Whoa! That takes some skill

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Well it looks like the Apocalype is on it's way. It's been nice knowing you all.

 

[TheTygerfire]

moving hentai to the mainstream

I am in full support of this cause.

 

[Rokar333]

I'll admit that this is slightly creepy, but I think it's a gimmick that will go away. I understand that they want to replace lost readers, but aiming for the crowd of 20 something weirdos is not going to help, at all. Once they realize that they are pushing away the men who read playboy for naked pictures of real women (because nobody should even pretend that they look at Playboy for anything other than the centerfold) they'll stop.

As a pervert I'm outraged, but as a simpsons fan I'm intregued.
