She Said, Z Said: Hubba-Hubba-Doh!
Z: I had no idea that one day I would graduate from the childhood yodel of “Yabba-Dabba-Doo!” to the adult cry of “Hubba-Hubba-Doh!”
She: I wish I could say I had no idea what you were talking about.
Z: There’s no two ways about it; Marge Simpson is hot.
She: You’re a sick, sick man.
Z: Redundant.
She: Why would anyone want to see Marge Simpson naked in Playboy?
Z: The answer to that is neatly summarized in the word “naked.”
She: Lisa Simpson must be shocked. Here she is one of the most groundbreaking feminist characters on network television — “a one-girl revolution against cartoonland patriarchy,” according to Ms. Magazine — and her own mom poses for Playboy.
Z: If I was built like Marge, I’d want to share that with the world, too. Homer is one lucky dude.
She: Talk about high maintenance. That bouffant up-do would take at least an hour every morning, and tons of toxic hairspray. Then there are the strapless dresses and wearing pearls all the time ... it all just seems a little showy.
Z: But she’s hot.
She: She’s a cartoon character.
Z: And an impressively stacked one at that. Who knew?
She: I don’t think Playboy would have picked her if she weren’t. That’s kind of their criteria for models: “must have boobs, the more the better.”
Z: That’s ridiculous. They picked her for her brains and her taste. You can even see it on her Model Data Sheet. Turnoffs: “Slim men who work out regularly and take care of their bodies and whose oiled muscles gleam in the sun when they take off their shirt.” Turn-on: “Having enough saucers for your cups.” This is a woman of substance.
She: Some would say that Playboy makes all women into cartoon characters.
Z: I wouldn’t know about that. I only read it for the articles.
She: Doesn’t everybody?
Z: I bet that first phone call to her was very awkward. How do you ask a middle-aged, yellow skinned woman to pose naked for Playboy?
She: You offer her lots of money and hope she’ll be flattered.
Z: I wonder what would have happened if Robert Redford had run into her instead of Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal?
She: The all time worst Disney movie.
Z: Especially with the whole 3-D fad that’s going on right now.
She: So, if we were playing that game of “Five Free Celebs” that you would be allowed to fool around with, would you pick Marge Simpson?
Z: No. Honestly, I doubt she’d even make my top five cartoon freebies. I’m much more of a Jessica Rabbit, or even a Betty Rubble type.
She: Betty, not Wilma?
Z: Betty is clearly more adventurous.
She: And I know you prefer Veronica to the other Betty.
Z: I guess I just like the exotic girls.
She: Have you actually seen the Playboy pictures of Marge Simpson?
Z: They’re surprisingly tasteful nudes. The photographer was clearly very considerate of her.
She: Why do you say that?
Z: Much is left to the imagination. Lots of carefully draped silk and doughnuts. Which, unfortunately, leaves a burning question unanswered.
She: Which is?
Z: Is she really a natural bluehead?
She: Ugh. I suppose I should thank you for not using the words “drapes” and “carpet.”
Z: Yes, dear.

This column is worthless fluff. It’s a waste of server space. If it weren’t on the internet I would use it for the bottom of my birdcage.

If you don’t like it then don’t read it. Personally I look forward to reading She and Z every Monday and always get a chuckle. Humor, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder but for me this is one of my favorite things to read every week.

Always funny. You guys make my morning whenever I get a chance to read. WE love Marge Simpson at our house too.

I may be simple but you make me laugh! Thanks, guys.

I’m not a Playboy reader but I went out and bought this one. Hubba dubba.

I for one am laughing. Thanks, guys.

Oh Marge. As a Feminist this upsets me so. What would your daughters think?

Too funny. I always love your columns.

I had no idea that Playboy was still publishing ...

I’m a Simpson’s Fan but I have to admit, I’m surprised that marge would do this. perhaps she’s having a bit of midlife crisis.

Yabba Dabba Doo. That Marge is hot!
