The Devil and Ms. Simpson…
A conservative pro-family group is slamming 7-Eleven for choosing to stock the November issue of Playboy, which will feature cartoon character Marge Simpson on the cover.
“Most American dads know the dangers that porn represents to young males,” American Family Association Special Projects Director Randy Sharp said in a press release. “It’s irresponsible of 7-Eleven to display porn in front of boys who pop into 7-11s for a hot dog or a Slurpee.”
The Telegraph recently reported, “Despite being on the front cover, Marge will not be totally bare, with the magazine only featuring ‘implied nudity.’”
“The move is a sign of changes to come from new CEO Scott Flanders, a former Freedom Communications Inc. CEO who was hired June 1 to succeed Christie Hefner to lead Chicago-based Playboy Enterprises Inc.,” The Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The Marge Simpson centerfold is “obviously somewhat tongue-in-cheek,” Flanders said in an interview Thursday. “It had never been done, and we thought it would be kind of hip, cool and unusual.”
