It certainly has crossed my mind and I know it has your. Don’t lie to me. It’s the same intrigue and fascination that hovered in my mind as a child, about red-head kids and their nether regions – before all was finally revealed in the Founder House boarding school showers. And who better to do the honours than Marcus Green?

Aah, it’s true, redheads do have red pubes! That’s CRAZY!!

I wonder if the same goes for Marge Simpson? You reckon “it’s” blue?

What vibe do you think she’ll be going for? Landing Strip?

Marge Simpson on the cover of Playboy

Enjoy this vibe, from reuters:

“D’oh!” doesn’t even start to cover it. Marge Simpson — the blue beehived matriarch of America’s most loved dysfunctional family – is Playboy magazine‘s November cover, the magazine said on Friday.

Simpson, tastefully concealing her assets behind a signature Playboy Bunny chair, is the first cartoon character ever to front the glossy adult magazine, joining the ranks of sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford.

Playboy said the cover and a three-page picture spread inside was a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the “The Simpsons” and part of a plan to appeal to a younger generation of readers.

Scott Flanders, the recently-hired chief executive of Playboy Enterprises, told the Chicago Sun-Times in an interview that the Marge Simpson cover and centerfold was “somewhat tongue-in-cheek.”

“It had never been done, and we thought it would be kind of hip, cool and unusual,” Flanders told the newspaper. He said the magazine hoped to attract readers in their 20s compared to the average Playboy reader’s age of 35.

Playboy also promises a story inside called “The Devil in Marge Simpson”. The issue arrives on newsstands on October 16.

I don’t know what’s more incredible. The fact that Marge Simpson is in Playboy, or the fact that the magazine’s new Chief Exec’s name is Scott Flanders!

I wonder if he is connected to Ned Flanders? Homer Simpson’s overly religious neighbour?
