Playboy returns to nudity in new issue
Fox News ^ | 2/13/17

Posted on 02/13/2017 12:36:00 PM PST by socal_parrot

After the men’s lifestyle magazine stopped featuring nude pictorials in 2015, the nude shots are making a comeback with Playboy's March/April 2017 issue featuring topless Playmate Elizabeth Elam as Miss March 2017, along with the headline “Naked is normal.”

“I’ll be the first to admit that the way in which the magazine portrayed nudity was dated, but nudity was never the problem because nudity isn’t a problem,” Playboy’s Chief Creative Officer Cooper Hefner said in a statement. "Today we're taking our identity back and reclaiming who we are."

I recently read that Playboy Clubs, complete with Bunnies, were going to re-open in the US, the first one in Manhattan. (I guess there are still a few overseas.)

[Playboy without nudes, please.]

Might as well spank it to the Victoria’s Secret catalog.

I guess in an age where women dress up like vaginas and march around Washington, DC, this was a real empty gesture.

T&A sells. Fox News knows this as well as anyone. I’m told they grow their female readers on a secret blondes island in the south Pacific.

“I’ll be the first to admit that the way in which the magazine portrayed nudity was dated, but nudity was never the problem because nudity isn’t a problem” Playboy’s Chief Creative Officer Cooper Hefner said in a statement. One thing Playboy did eliminate with the latest issue is the phrase “Entertainment for Men” from the cover.

Interpretation: Playboy feels that there are many verieties of men and old fashioned straight males that like hot chicks are passe'. Catering to them was the problem, not the nudity. So they'll bring it back but moving forward they will have "empowered" homely women, gay men and trannies in addition to the (very) occasional hot chick. They will be hailed as ground breaking and courageous. And they will disappear within a year. Wait for it.

Playboy couldn’t compete with all the young female starlets and divas running around town commando giving free shots as they “accidentally” flash their naked nether regions and arrange for their “puppies” to slip out.

In the age of Internet, who needs paperPorn? Is this publication something for layabouts and the disconnected? You can get porn delivered on your obamaphone.

Rush talks about the women’s movement. He equates it at least in part to ugly women trying to level the playing field with the more better looking women.

It didn’t help when some of the leaders of the women’s movement turned out to be lesbians.

Nature will take it’s course. It does for women and it does for men.

Reasonably good looks and a decent personality with above average intelligence is going to be hard to beat.

Who knew?

Naked girls in Playboy magazine... what won't they think of next?

He never said girls. He just said nudity would be back, and that the old way they portrayed it (i.e. hot girls) was dated. Just sayin...

They tried to go the way of FHM or Maxim and realized without nudes people would rather read FHM or Maxim.

The bad news is that they’re going to have Lena Dunham do a nude spread.
