Marge Simpson: Bart will never learn of my Playboy spread

Bookmark and Share


Playboy is having a lot of fun with their November issue featuring Marge Simpson on the cover.

Done to celebrate "The Simpsons" on its 20th anniversary, the issue is sure to be a collectors edition.

In a press release, Playboy found Hugh Hefner said this:

"Marge Simpson is the quintessential girl next door who stole our hearts 20 years ago and has held them captive ever since.

"We were delighted to learn she wanted to grace the pages of our magazine. Her pictorial is truly stunning.”

If you're not interested in getting your own copy, which hits newsstands and online today, here are some quotes Playboy has released from the interview.

On her family’s reactions to her Playboy pictorial: “Homer said he was intrigued because he had never heard of [Playboy]. The notion of women posing in the buff was completely foreign to him. Wasn’t it sweet of him to lie? When Lisa heard about this, she said it was empowering to see a woman in control of her own body. Wasn’t it sweet of her to lie? Bart will never learn about this under any circumstance.”

On the time that she knew Homer was the one: “Well, when the doctor said I was pregnant, I heard a voice saying ‘That’s the man you’re going to marry.’ The voice was my mother’s.”

On her secret to a successful relationship: “Homer and I have one rule that has worked incredibly well: Never go to bed hungry.”

On the advice she gives Lisa regarding men: “I always tell my Lisa she should marry the man who loves her. It doesn’t matter if he’s losing his hair or is overweight or is at a bar every night…or if he forgets your birthday and anniversary…All that matters is that nothing means anything to him but you.”

On the advice she gives Bart regarding women: “I say, ‘You won’t meet any girls in prison, which is where you seem to be headed.’”

On what she prides herself on doing around the house: “Searching for [Playboys] and throwing them away…they’re usually in the bedroom.”

BTW, if the cover seems familiar, that's because it is a recreation of a October 1971 cover featuring Darine Stern.
