The Dumbest Playboy Cover EVER?

This is the cover for the April 2009 issue of Playboy and it is quite frankly one of the dumbest images I've ever seen in my life. I mean, seriously:

1.) That's An Awful Lot of Work to Make Someone's Dress Blow Upwards

So the image here is supposed to be a parody of Marilyn Monroe's skirt blowing up in the air way back when. However, it seems that the only way Seth Rogen could re-create this image is by building a secret compartment in the floor ahead of time, storing a fan inside this secret compartment, and then somehow convincing this attractive model to walk over to where the secret compartment is and then just stop and stand over it. Then, when the moment is right, Seth Rogen can pop out of the secret compartment with his fan, and presumably, the model will not be smart enough to just walk away from the fan. Instead, she'll continue to stand there and do a terrible job of acting like she's surprised. Oh, and the fan doesn't need to be plugged in, apparently. It seems to automatically turn on when held directly underneath a vagina.

2.) If It Were Me Doing All This Work, I'd Probably at Least, I Don't Know, ACTUALLY LOOK UP THE DRESS

Seth Rogen's face kills me here. Why the hell would he feel the need to look at the camera with a self-satisfied look on his face, as if to say, "Look how clever and wacky I am?" I mean, you went to all the trouble of building the secret compartment, hiding in it, luring the model over to it, and then unleashing an unplugged fan on her unsuspecting dress, why not just look up and enjoy your panty shot? You've clearly earned it...

3.) Decidedly A Horrible Fucking Cover

It was so bad, that I lost my desire to oggle the women inside. Who can get horny after looking at such terrible cover art?
