"D'oh!" doesn't even start to cover it.

Marge Simpson -- the blue beehived matriarch of America's most loved dysfunctional family - is Playboy magazine's November cover, the magazine said on Friday.

Simpson, tastefully concealing her assets behind a signature Playboy Bunny chair, is the first cartoon character ever to front the glossy adult magazine, joining the ranks of sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford.

Playboy said the cover celebrates the 20th anniversary of the "The Simpsons." Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie have already been honored this year with a set of U.S. postal stamps.

The magazine promises a story inside called "The Devil in Marge Simpson" and another three pages of pictures.

Animated series "The Simpsons" debuted in December 1989 with a Christmas-themed episode called "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire." It has won 24 primetime Emmys and was renewed by Fox television earlier this year for two more seasons.

Does the carpet match the drapes? (I can't believe I thought that ... and then typed it.)

I thinks the Simpsons debut was on the Tracey Ullman show before they had their own program.

Child porn goes mainstream. Great. Hugh Heffner adds yet another 1,000 years to his soon to be eternal life in a bottomless pit somewhere.

Yeah right, the day Marge Simpson makes the cover of Playboy, Teleprompter Boy will win a Nobel prize.

Can’t happen...

This morning on the Lee Rodgers show, Officer Vic said: "Clearly, men aren't running that magazine anymore."

You're right it started on the Tracey Ullman show in 1988/1989 but even before that, what became Bart Simpson was a comic strip in college newspapers called "Life in Hell"

thanks, now we’re going to get a thread that’s overrun by guys with a cartoon fetish. (Betty Boop, Veronica from the Archies, or Lois Griffin from Family Guy?)

I wonder if they had to airbrush any of the pictures
