Discretions

So Marge Simpson will be in Playboy. The way things have changed is amazing. Not only is Simpson a cartoon, but she is now a MILF as well. The thought is just a bit creepy in a way. Probably since I never considered the cartoon in such a manner.

But there is no question that obviously millions of men and boys have. Quite possibly more than a few women as well. Which got me searching the net.

You would be amazed at the various cartoon and anime drawings and characters that fill the internet. The most mundane to the most extreme can be found for every character you have ever heard of and many you have not. It really surprised me.

And the variations on the way the characters are fulfilling societal taboos is mind-boggling. I mean there are furries that are complete trans, and anatomically endowed like only a cartoon could. There is no end to the variations on the Flinstones swinging. There are numerous takes on the most popular manga, anime and cartoon characters in combinations that you never might have imagined before.

But in looking through it all 2 things came to my mind. The first is the obvious that Jessica Rabbit is the most popular and definitely the most taboo drawn character ever. There is no position, no fetish, no alternative lifestyle that she is not drawn involved in. And some of the art is incredibly good.

The other thing is more interesting in a different way. Of all the drawn art, only Lois and Peter Griffin are in the public with their alternative lifestyles. Only they are able to slip in the facts of alternative life. And they do it often with no question what it is all about.

And everyone seems not to notice.

That’s the funny part. You can search for all kinds of drawn porn, or vicarious visuals, but it is the Family Guy show that you don’t need to do more than turn on your TV to see. It’s not even as subtle as say Amy on NCIS. It’s blatant. Which tells me that the world is more aware and interestred in the alternative lifestyles than what they are willing to discuss openly. But the freak is starting to slip out, because some things you just can’t hold back.

It may be obvious, just as it is that Lois is the Dom in the relationship with Peter, but it is something that the vanillas just blow right past. But they love it, as the renewal of the show made clear at least in part. And since imitation is the highest form of television programming, the question is how far will the next Lois-like character go? What is the new limit that will be pushed, making the lifestyle more mainstream by the episode?

Marge Simpson may have taken Playboy, but I’m wondering when Lois will be on Marquis? Imagine how much press that will get. I can’t wait.
