For anyone who caught the whole episode. Interesting Lisa can boo-urns all over Jonah Hill's character being a TV writer but was mysteriously absent when her mom becomes a centerfold. Hmmmm, Frink out!
Homer should do Playgirl. And not campy, but seriously, as seductive as they can possibly make him.
Wasn't there an episode where he did something like that?
I haven't seen this episode but it seems like they showed that Marge was being exploited. The characters aren't perfect people, and situations aren't always fully resolved. It's part of why the show is great.
But Lisa should have been given a long monologue somewhere in there. She would have had a LOT to say about this. #margesimpsoncalendar
I'm kind of creeped out that even nipples were in the playboy spread. BTW I don't recommend trying to google for those images, even if you are curious to know how far they went. #margesimpsoncalendar
I unfortunately watched last night's episode. While there was a whole lot of Bart cringing about everyone ogling the calendar, Lisa was nowhere to be found.
Seriously, how was her indignation totally absent? Lisa has often challenged the church congregation (and is a Buddhist) so community support would not drown her out.
Anyway, I guess the focus was just on over-sexing cartoon characters I have come to love. #margesimpsoncalendar
@justcallmeangel: I was jarred too. Mostly because she has three kids and one has been breastfeeding for the last 20 years... No way would her nipples be above her elbow. #margesimpsoncalendar
Number 6 is the most adorable thing ever. I can even tell what sound Homer is making by looking at his shadow. The nipples bother me though. #margesimpsoncalendar
@phantom lady: Considering that he named the characters after his family members (Matt being Bart), I don't think that would cross his mind. #margesimpsoncalendar
@Stagtasticfantastic: I read this great profile of Groening about fifteen years ago. The reporter was going on about the Simpsons' character names, saying something like, "Marge is the quintessential fifties housewife moniker, and Homer is, of course, an homage to the epic poet who fathered symbolic storytelling with archetypal characters."
Groening very pleasantly responded, "Actually, my parents' names are Marge and Homer." Oh, that poor journalist. Probably lost their job even before the profession evaporated. #margesimpsoncalendar
oh marge if I had a dime for every time a glass or 10 of wine given to me by a photographer resulted in a nude calender I didn't recall shooting.... #margesimpsoncalendar

It's just equal time. Homer's been shown in his sexy undies before. #margesimpsoncalendar

Writer# 1:"How do we deal w/ Lisa's reaction?"
Writer# 2:"Hmmm. Better leave her out and hope no one notices."
I was also kind of hoping for a French Itchy and Scratchy. #margesimpsoncalendar
