¡Ay, caramba!, Marge!

October 19, 2009

This past weekend Playboy Magazine broke new ground with a new collectable cover.  Featured is animated character Marge Simpson from the television show The Simpsons.  Playboy, which published its first magazine in December 1953 with Marilyn Monroe on the cover, has been suffering lately.  Advertising pages have dropped 31% in the past year, newsstand sales have dropped 25%, and their distribution has dropped to 2.4 million.  Therefore, they are looking for creative ways to get 25 year-old males back to the newsstands.  And they have steeped this issue in history.  It marks the first time an animated character appears on the cover, celebrates The Simpsons 20 year run, and the pose honors Darine Stern – Playboy’s first black woman on the cover of the October 1971 issue.


Marge Simpson is baring most of her yellow skin
In Playboy wearing bubbles and a sheepish grin
The magazine wants to be hip
And asked its cover girl to strip
Because like Homer’s hair, Playboy’s profits are thin
