		<description><![CDATA[Marge Simpson is anything but yellow in this new issue of Playboy.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Marge Simpson is showing some yellow in the November issue of Playboy.</p>
<p>The cover shows &#8220;The Devil in Marge Simpson,&#8221; depicting her in the nude, albeit mostly covered by a Playboy-bunny-shaped chair (which conjures up images of the &#8220;Life in Hell&#8221; rabbit).  Inside, you&#8217;ll find a three-page pictorial with &#8220;implied nudity&#8221; drawn by &#8220;The Simpsons&#8221; illustrators. </p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s never been done, and we thought it would be kind of hip, cool and unusual&#8221; Scott Flanders, CEO of Playboy Enterprises, told The Chicago Tribune.</p>
<p>Ned Flanders, however, could not be reached for comment.</p>
<p>The purpose of the cover is two-fold, according to the Boston Herald: to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, and for the magazine to focus on a younger audience.</p>
<p>While this is not the first time Marge has been a featured model for a men&#8217;s magazine &#8220;&quot; she appeared on the cover of Maxim in 2004 as a &#8220;D&#8217;oh-eyed beauty&#8221; &#8220;&quot; it is the first time Playboy has featured an animated model (not to be confused with Jessica Rabbit of Who Framed Roger Rabbit fame, who was played by a real-life model).</p>
<p>Make sure to read the accompanying article penned by the writers of &#8220;The Simpsons.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other people of interest on the cover are Stephen King, Farrah Fawcett, and Tracy Morgan.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Michael Vick is going to star in a documentary series early next year, according to the Los Angeles Times. The series, which is slated to air on BET, will center around Vick and the actions he takes after prison. </p>
<p>&#8220;People who abuse animals don¢&#8217;t deserve to be rewarded,&#8221;says PETA spokesman Dan Shannon. They shouldn¢&#8217;t be given the privilege of being a role model.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I just want people to really get to know me as an individual,&#8221;says Vick, who served 18 months in prison for dogfighting, </p>
<p>Loretha Jones, who leads programming at BET, said that the series &#8220;might serve as a road map for young men facing the same challenge (as Vick).&#8221;</p>
<p>Viewers might expect each episode to be full of scenes of him going to PETA meetings, helping out at dog fundraisers, and role-modeling for individuals who are abusing animals. </p>
<p>On the other hand, if they can show the more human side to Vick in a way that is genuine and not like, say, The Hills, then he may end up regaining some credibility by the time this is all over.</p>
