And straight men continue to flee.
Playboy continues its descent into complete irrelevance. Putting naked Marge on the cover is sure to be a big newsstand seller–not.
New CEO Scott Flanders (no, not that Flanders) says the idea is to attract readers in their 20s to a magazine where the average reader’s age is 35. While one should give him points for facing the Kevin Bacon problem, pulling a character from a tired 20-year old cartoon sitcom isn’t going to tear 20-year olds from their iPhones and XBoxes.
Playboy remains out of touch. I have a modest proposal–why not a ’spread’ with the ‘real’ Marge Simpson, Julie Kavner–you’ll get a threesome with Patty and Selma as well?
Update: here it is courtesy of TMZ.
A turn-on, no? Playboy has become Mad Magazine.
