Playboy cancels Super Bowl party over 'lack of sponsorship'
DailyIndia ^ | January 30

Playboy has apparently dropped plans to carry out its Saturday Super Bowl bash in Tampa due to "lack of sponsorship."

The famous lad magazine was said to be closing its office in New York and further fusing Chicago operations, reports the New York Post.

However, the magazine was reportedly "hawking tickets to game-day bash at the Playboy Mansion in LA."

The general admission would allegedly cost enthusiasts 1,500 dollars, while those with tables and cabanas were priced at 10,000 and 25,000 dollars respectively.

Meanwhile, the annual pay-per-view Lingerie Bowl has also been scrapped following disputes whether members of the Florida nudist colony, where it is to be hosted, would have to wrap themselves up during the game.

Good. If the only way Playboy will throw a party is by having a bunch of other folks sponsor it, maybe it’s time for them to actually you know, run their business maybe? Cut some costs if they’re not doing well? Sell off a few assets they don’t need?

the problem with Playboy is that it’s content is now almost as left as the Nation

and the girls look too glossy

nothing masculine oriented about it anymore

I’d love to attend the Playboy party! It would sure beat the hell out of two beers in a chow hall full of fully dressed soldiers that I’ll be getting here.

Maybe Playboy will do a “Military Appreciation” event sometime???
