But I guarantee you won't see any Marge Simpson chips anytime soon because about 16 years ago after the Simpsons episode $pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling) aired I contacted FOX and inquired about licensing characters to create collectible
Mr. Burns Casino chips and after I explained my proposal their reaction was like I was going around and killing everyone's first born son, the person I spoke to started screaming at me on the phone saying You can't do that and we won't allow you to and when I asked why I was told basically told it would be detrimental to the show because it would present The Simpsons as endorsing kids gambling (which I think they already did with the episode) and that it is detrimental to the integrity of the show

Ok, detrimental to the integrity of the show huh and encourging kids to gamble? Oh and putting Marge Simpson smack dab on the cover and in a two page centerfold of Playboy Magazine won't be a problem? Let's not get too preachy here FOX, I think you've definitely cross that line of integrity a long.. long.. long.. time ago.
