It was one thing when Playboy announced that animated American Marge Simpson would be its cover girl for November 2009. Now that some intrepid soul at Oh No They Didn't has posted the shots from the cover story, the strangeness of this entire enterprise is impossible to ignore. (The NSFW scans are here, if you're in the mood to gross yourself out.)
On the other hand, maybe I'm just being a prude. It's not like we haven't seen Springfield residents naked on "The Simpsons" in the past. Above, Marge indulged in a dozy fantasy of the Garden of Eden that's comparatively tame -- but there have been many moments of animated nudity in the show's long history.
