• If she wasn't yellow, googly eyed, and sporting a blue beehive, I'd actually be kind of turned on by this.

• I work in a convenience store and I hate to say it but this issue has been selling like mad. Creepiest question I've had: "So is she trim or is it blue?"

• Maxim Responsible This!!! Do you guys forget that Marge was in Maxim a few years ago. 539

• Awww... no love for Little Annie Fanny? SHE should be on the cover!! ( Little Annie Fanny was a cartoon that was in Playboy many many years ago, I doubt the current editors ever heard of her )

• Too bad she isn't real, now we can't judge her.

• Not a big deal. We've seen most of Marge already anyway. Why not read her data sheet about her favorite things and her idea of a perfect date? I bet it'll be funny. If you stopped watching the Simpsons 10 years ago, you're hardly qaulified to make a comment about it's current quality. Yes, there were bad seasons, but for the most part, it's still funny. The ratings seem to hint that at least a few people watch it.

• Seriously, you're freaking out about Marge in Lingerie? That's what's bugging you? How about the fact that Rule 34 has held true for both Dolores Umbridge of Harry Potter and Alton Brown of Food Network? Now that you know that, is Marge still bothering you?

• I dont see the big deal. i think it is kind of funny

• What do you expect from Playboy? I mean, they're going to have Tara Reid pose nude soon. TARA REID- Victim of bad plastic surgery and too many parties. It's not like the magazine has any class after that.

• @MarkMeEvil Rule 34 on the Simpsons has existed as long as... as long as there have been graphics on the internet. I seriously doubt they haven't seen a naked picture of Marge on the net. Seriously, first picture that opos up without safesearch when I look is her bent over in a fanservicey pose. My reaction: Meh.

• Beyond the obvious, what disturbs me the most is that all of my students, LOVE the Simpsons. I work in an elementary school with primarily with kids on the Autism Spectrum, all of whom are internet savvy. Next time they look up "The Simpsons" this crap is going to pop up!

• @kenshiro Maybe all reading all the FFF here has scarred me more than I know, but my first thought was, Damn, playboy can't even get a cartoon character to pose nude in their damn magazine anymore. Fuck you playboy, and fuck you my mind! HAHAHA damn straight

• Rule 34. That is all.

• If the pictures are of Marge with her hair down, I think it might be worth a look. Marge's beehive =/= sexy.

• i know people that draw hentai, i do however think this is awful that their only going 1/2 way with it...i mean its playboy

• at first i thought i was a halloween joke but seeing its real. means that either matt or hugh have started to earn membership in the lost their minds club.though it could be worse playboy could have had patty and thelma on the cover instead.

• Ugh, cocacolaoso thank you for finding that cover. I've been trying to tell people how it's been done before, but I couldn't remember what magazine it was for.

• To be fair. If we boycotted anything that there was porn of then we would have no form of entertainment left. Everything has been Rule 34'ed and I'm sure Simpsons was Rule 34'ed before the term was even coined. Humanity is horrible and, unfortunately, there's not much we can do about it. I will say that I do think this is really silly, but it's clear that Playboy has lost whatever it had long long ago.

• The only thing sad about this is that it took 20 years for it to happen. I don't mean to say I've been waiting 20 years to see Marge Simpsons nude on the cover/in the pages of Playboy. As other commenters have said, if I'd wanted to see that, I'd just watch some select episodes of the show. No, this is sad, because it took 20 years for it to be "safe" enough to point that relevancy is moot. What's next-- Leela? Why not? It'd be good publicity for Futurama's comeback. You know, that would actually mean something. This, unfortunately, means nothing.

• Is it really worth getting your panties twisted over? Jesus, what is it with nerd righteous indignation over every gawd-damned thing these days? "Indy 4 sucked so now my childhood memories have been gang-raped!" Suck it up, Nancy boys. It ain't the end of the world.

• Maxim already did a Marge Simpson "pictorial", probably better, too. And ZADL, yeah, Leela would be a lot better, and she would be naked.

• Now if it were Lela from Futurama....

• No offense to all you Simpsons fans, but I was finished with the Simpsons more than 10 years ago. TV shows that deserve the airtime get axed and this over-played cartoon keeps seeing airtime. UGH!

• Shark, meet the Simpsons. Simpsons, meet the shark. IRT Matt Groening and the Simpsons: the show really has been on autopilot since around 2000-2002 or so...I don't think he's actually shown up around the studio much, at least since Futurama took off.

• Yeah, I'm having a hard time working up any outrage over this. It's hard to get upset about a suggestive Marge Simpson in an adult publication when you have Lara Croft, Bloodrayne and that hot barbarian chick who only shows up in the intro of 'Age of Conan' posing suggestive in "gag articles" for mainstream gamer magazines.

• The show stopped being good YEARS ago. I'm sorry, but you guys bitch about Heroes being bad (which, admittedly, it is), but fail to see the SHIT that Matt Groening and co. produce weekly for that show? The worst part is: we KNOW that he can still make a hilarious comedy since he's been doing it with Futurama completely after the Simpsons started to truly suck.

• Thanks <b>WetOREO</b>, I was going to say "Haven't they already done this...?" but I guess that was Maxim. Way to be late to the party, Playboy.

• The Simpsons of today is still better than anything else on on Sunday nights.

• It's not THAT bad. It's clearly intended to be funny, and... well, it is.

• The people have spoken, and they demand their Marge Simpson FFF!

• *fap* *fap* *fap* ... *sob*

• Marge has been drawing in lingerie or nude in the series multiple times. She's been shown or implied engaging in foreplay or licentious carnal behavior with Homer. This hardly counts as a reason to care. In fact, the only thing that seems droll about it is that it's probably 14 years too late to really be considered edgy or risque. Honestly, save your nerd rage for things that actually matter.

• At first I misread and I though Marge was going to be a subject of FFF!!! I'm so relieve that was not the case. That would have broke my soul. But this happen before, like WetOREO said, Maxim had Marge on their April Fools cover in 2004, approved and drawn by Matt Groening himself. http://media.ihatemyisp.net/jpg////MargeSimpsonMaxim01.jpg And come on! Is a tonge in cheek think. Playboy & Groening are in the joke. No if Marge will appear in Hustler or in Shaved I would be horrified.

• "It is against not just nerd law, but the law of all good and decent folks to never pick up a Playboy again." I get that this is a dumb idea and all but did you really need to use this news as a vehicle to come out of the closet? Come on, dude. At the end of the day the magazine is still full of naked ladies. So if I see a Playboy laying around then yes, I'm damned sure going to take a peek. If I stopped paying attention to things after they decided to do something dumb and less than entertaining than I'd have quit TR the moment you began overplaying "WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?" or live-blogging that "Heroes" crud.

• Good thing, then that I stopped watchin The Simpsons ten years ago. I can hardly even remember when The Simpsons used to actually be good, or even halfway decent. It's been garbage for well over a decade. Probably longer. So, when I saw that Playboy has Marge Simpson in it, I officially did not give a shit. Although it does reminds me why The Simpsons suck. Again.

• I really have to wonder what their reasoning for this was. Seriously, it's like they want to be known for creeping people out rather than for nudity. Shame on you Hefner. Shame.

• Relax people, this is funny as shit. Playboy and Simpsons rule for all time. They should get Mrs. Krabapple, Mindy (Homer's old co-worker) and Larleen Lumpkin in there too.

• Ohh, the last step before furries get on the cover. But I don't read Playboy so I don't care... I have cable and internet and stuff like that.

• &#64;Frank "Grayhawk" Huminski "But I'm willing to bet a chocolate-pecan pie that these FLY off the shelves." Through years of experience, the appropriate bet is *half* a pie. The winner gets a half pie of triumph, and the loser gets the remaining half pie for consolation. It's just better this way.

• I don't have a problem with nude cartoon characters or anything like that but this just reeks of desperation on so many peoples' part. I notice Stephen King is in there too. Playboy is pretty much a who's-who of people who shoulda retired long ago when they still had dignity. That includes Hef the Mummy, himself.

• Rob you're funny. Why get mad at nude Marge Simpson? It seems to me that if Sailor Moon or one of those other Japanese anime gals were in Playboy you'd be okay with it. I think the weirdness is that this is approved hentai. What's next FOX? Lois from Family Guy? Leela from Futurama?

• I'm sorry but I like the cover. I think it's cute and funny.

• this has to be a joke

• I can't say that I'm personally opposed to nude drawings, based on real or fictional characters, but really, what's the point? Anyone who wants to see Marge in the buff can do a simple SafeSearch-Off Google search and get what they want for free; unless they want official Groening-approved pics, I just don't see the point behind this. Now if she were headlining an article about how hot traditional homemakers on TV are, then perhaps it'd be a bit more relevant. Could also be a bit of a 'gateway' issue to attract unsuspecting pre-teens/teenagers to buying naughty magazines...

• The clue is right there on the cover, above Marge's left wrist. Welcome to the freshly-deranged mind of Stephen King...

• Overreact much?

• i got to go with JayWicky on this, besides, isn't wanting to see cartoons in the buff just another part of nerdliness? maybe Rob sees a lot of his mom in Marge Simpson and can't reconcile his mom on the cover of playboy...

• I love that you guys are bitching about a nude cartoon character on a Playboy cover. Now, Marge has never been a object of lust for me, but I still have enough testosterone that my panties don't get in a bunch over a nude character from a cartoon. Playboy has done this sort of thing before with characters from video games and such. Also, who among you really still read Playboy? Anyone knows internet porn is way better.

• "It's not like they're doing a spread in Hustler with Marge peeing on Ned or something." ....

• Come on! If it was Homer on the cover and in a spread everyone would think it was hilarious. It's all just to celebrate the fact that a cultural icon (even if not as watched anymore) has reached a legendary milestone with it's 20th season. Maybe you're not a fan of 'The Simpsons' anymore, but it's still pretty darn impressive for a primetime animated show that began on a fledgling network like Fox was way back then to stick around for twenty years.

• Ok, calm down. Geez. They're not seriously trying to entice anyone with sexy pictures of Marge. It's for laughs. It's not like they're doing a spread in Hustler with Marge peeing on Ned or something.

• Stop being sheep. Just because the guy who posted this hates it doesn't mean we all have to. I think it's WAY overdue. Marge has always been hot since we saw her with her hair down in her college years, and we've been teased with this the time she got breast implants. I for one don't see the big deal since she's not even drawn naked in the book. Maybe if you told me they had her doing raunchy stuff or something even remotely pornographic I'd get your point, but since she's not really doing anything particularly special, I think you just wanted something to complain about. I agree with you on the guys that draw cartoon characters having sex though...

• &#64;Friginator: True that. You are a great, wise man and we should all listen to what you have to say all the time and we should worship you. Kudos.

• A-fucking-men! What nonsense.

• Maybe all reading all the FFF here has scarred me more than I know, but my first thought was, Damn, playboy can't even get a cartoon character to pose nude in their damn magazine anymore. Fuck you playboy, and fuck you my mind!

• Ooh, burn!

• I have to disagree, Rob. I personally still enjoy the Simpsons. It's not good anymore, but neither is Family Guy or American Dad (though the latter was never good to begin with).

• I don't get what the big fuss is about. 1) She's just going to be in lingerie, not butt-naked. 2) The Internet has shown us much worse, so it's basically a non-story. 3)We're on a blog that routinely explores the depths of hell in the form of porn fan fiction. Why blow a fuse over... this ? I'm sure we could see Marge in lingerie in any episode and nobody would bat an eye. That's just pushing the "Marge is considered a looker in the Simpsons universe" concept one step further.

• You know what Rob does want? A Male Stripper dressed up like He-Man

• Overreact much?

• &#64;"Grayhawk" I'd say PLAYBOY RESPONSIBLE THIS...but then I look past Marge's yellow...naked...thigh...*brrr*, anyway, I see a small, almost unnoticeable signature... MATT GROENING RESPONSIBLE THIS TWO!

• WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS??!!?? (hadda be said...)

• At least it isn't a naked furry on the cover.

• irrelivant - the simpsons havent been funny or interesting by any small standard for years.

• I think the biggest problem here is that Marge Simpson isn't sexy in the least. Now if it were She-Ra on the cover...

• Hate this. At least get someone sexy like Betty Boop! - Mr. Guevera

• You just know that Hustler will respond with a hardcore spread of Lois and Meg from Family Guy.

• This and Obama´s Nobel have made my day. Oh Captain Morgan, how I missed you! *drinks up*

• Cartoon character porn becomes main stream. In the next ten years, I'm confident I'll be able to get a B.A. in literature with a focus on furry slash fiction.

• WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

• How many times was she nekkid on that show? I mean, they did a whole episode about Homer and her getting caught out in public screwing! This doesn't bother me, and I still love the show. I think it's great that the show's been on for 21 years and that Marge Simpson is still relevant enough to generate a response, be it good or bad. For me, it's good. Now, were they drawing her nude, that'd be a whole other matter, but they're not, so, yeah...fine with this.

• What the hell!? So is this like official Simpsons artists drawing the Marge porn or is it fan art? Cause if it's the second there's tons of it free on the internet. Looks like it's back to bed for me and pretend this never happened.

• Maxim had Marge on their April Fools issue back in 2004, so Playboy is WAY late.

• "And fucking people who draw cartoon characters having sex, which is the worst of all three." Hate to say it, but.... I smell a new FFF! *laughs maniacally and bludgeons self to death with rolled-up Playboy issue* Or is The Simpsons crossing some sort of line? I thought the Pokemon fic did that aready.

• DUDE! They are gonna sell SOOOOOO many of these. Will I buy one? No. But I'm willing to bet a chocolate-pecan pie that these FLY off the shelves.

• Uncool.

• Fuck this. The Simpsons has a lifetime pass, though.
