Even though Maxim already did it five years ago, Marge Simpson will pose as the first-ever cartoon cover girl and centerfold for the November issue of Playboy. The Chicago Sun-Times says

The magazine, which appears on newsstands Oct. 16, will feature Simpson in a three-page pictorial that a Playboy spokeswoman described as “sexy” with “implied nudity.” Subscribers, who make up 40 percent of Playboy’s readership, will get a celebrity on the cover rather than Marge.

The Marge Simpson centerfold is “obviously somewhat tongue-in-cheek,” said [the new Playboy CEO]. “It had never been done, and we thought it would be kind of hip, cool and unusual.”

The idea is to attract readers in their 20s — an appealing demographic compared with the average Playboy reader’s age of 35.

As if the last three seasons of “The Simpsons” weren’t proof enough that Matt Groening just doesn’t give a fuck anymore. Thanks for clearing that up for everybody, Matt.

BTW, (NSFW) this is what happened when I googled “Marge Simpson Playboy pics.” I mostly blame you.
