  • "I buy Playboy for the articles."



    Or not.

    Looks like Marge Simpson made the cover of Playboy magazine. I can truthfully say I've not seen a Playboy mag in a great many years, but had Marge been the featured content, I'm thinking I might not have made it out of my teen years without therapy.

    Marge Simpson makes the cover of Playboy. (It's a Reuters article, so it's info only.)

    "Younger generation?"  Really? I recall the models of the 70's being in their young 20's, disliking rude people, liking strolls on the beach and, oh yeah, making some moolah for showing us their Ah-Ha!

    Maybe that's changed. The article states that the average Playboy reader is now 35. Maybe the models grew up with the readers and are now suburban moms in their mid-30's who dislike housework, love dinner out at a fancy beach-side restaurant and, oh yeah, making some cash for giving us a flash.

    I guess that with the advent of all the technology, the younger generation must now be into CGI, 3-D, Anime, and Graphic Novels. If so, then Playboy may be looking at moving from "real" models (like those gals weren't done-up and their photos weren't airbrushed) to drawings.

    But really, Marge Simpson???  Have the young stud's taste in women changed THAT much??
    I'm not on Playboy's ad campaign crew or the group who chooses models, but if I were going to go for an animated girl on Playboy, I'd have had Betty Boop and Jessica Rabbit in the finalist round.

     

    One thing IS for sure ... guys aren't buying Playboy for the articles anymore.

    Are you going to buy the Marge Simpson issue of Playboy?
