That’s probably all he’s looking for.

Gotta start with asking for the moon though. Then negotiate down from there.

Playboy has been one of the biggest funders of the democrat party. I am not sure what they are now that Hefner’s family does not control it anymore. But they were huge democrats and put their money where their mouth was. Not sure if they don’t want this lawsuit.

The jerk must not know all Playboy articles are also given in Braille in secret on those pages but they can only be read by using one’s penis as the “scanning tool”.

But the software (website in this case) needs to be designed properly so that the screen readers know what to say and when. It’s called 508 compliance for the part of ADA that spells out what needs to be done. Honestly filling out your tags is just good software design.
