Oct. 12, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Marge Simpson has hit the ranks of the oomph brigade of “Playboy” models by shedding her clothes for an elaborate photo-shoot for the glam mag. Her foray in to the glamorous world of the Playboy elites is marked by the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the immensely popular show of “The Simpsons.” there had been a lot of whispers as well as rumors surrounding the matter, until the news came in to light that the November issue of the magazine [which hits the news stand on the 16th of Oct.] will have her in the limelight.

Marge’s entry in to the world of Playboy marks it as being the first occasion of its kind that involves a popular toon character to be featured on the cover pages of the magazine. So, should fans be expecting a slew of other popular characters to make a beeline for the position of the Playboy cover girl any time soon? It can only be a revelation of the policy of wait and watch, as had been the case with this bit of news.

This most recent trend [hardly, as toon characters in the buff are popular attraction on the Internet already] appears to have been in talks for quite some time and is not a result of a freak brainstorming. The creator of “Simpsons,” Matt Groening, had reportedly been approached by the Playboy with the idea quite a few months early [in the month of July] and since then the negotiations had been finalized. As the concept also gelled well with a soon-to-be aired episode bordering on the same issue [of Marge disrobing], it all fell through.
