So the easy availability of pr0n on the internet finally takes down the behemoth of Playboy.

This is the end of an era.

"They're still debating whether or not to have a centerfold."

WTF?

Playbody without a centerfold is like... like... like... I don't know. What's it like??? I've never conceived of such a thing.

Around the late 1990s....the BX empire decided that they wouldn’t sell men’s magazines (special lobbyist pressure on the Pentagon). Around the time, I predicted that the BX cut would carve out thirty-percent of the readers of the Playboy.

They can't sell their prurient content, so they are changing their tune. Whores all along, who knew?

Where is my cancel button?

Looks like this thread is effectively a duplicate (topic) to one 2 minutes earlier. Feel free to pull or freeze it. Thanks.

[moehoward]

I always bought it for the articles.

So, that lecherous old bastard is 89. Wow.
He got really lucky.

[o-n-money]

Now we will find out who reads the articles.

[MNDude]

I guess they once tried to make a magazine for married men— it had the same woman in it every month!

[Kickass Conservative]

Maybe it’s just me, but there is a difference between NUDE and COMPLETELY NUDE. Another Headline that doesn’t match the Story. Ho Hum...

Then again, I thought Playboy wasn’t Published anymore.

This proves that anything can reach a point of being overexposed. Your tolerance level is ratched up way too high.
Just call this the Neo-Roaring 20s.

He needs to do a sex pose with his shrived up penis.

[GulliverSwift]

So America has become too decadent even for Playboy.

What a sad commentary on our society.

[bigbob]

so, pics of naked men then?

[wafflehouse]

i suppose it is beyond obvious at this point but..
1. they are right. naked girls are everywhere, so playboy isnt really controversial at this point.
2. naked women will never, ever be "passé" unless, like hefner you are 89 years old. you just cant make money off of it like when it was a 'controlled substance'
3. not much point in reading playboy then is there? thats why their circulation numbers suck. had hefner actually been smart he would have sold playboy a long time ago. his 'empire' is beyond its shelf life and will die with him.

As this was read, the urge to search “Will No Longer Publish Nude Photos” of WOMEN was not found. It was thought the headlines were only a trick to inform the public the mag had decided to move beyond the realm and publish photos of nude males....after all, in this day and age.....

Sigh, what a pity for the young boys in the future. What will they do and where will they be forced to find what they seek?

This sucks for me. I shoot lots of aspiring models looking to submit to PB. Some have even made it.

[matt1234]

Well, Hugh, thanks for the mammaries.

I once worked for Penthouse here in Beverly Hills and unlike the liberals at Playboy, I surprisingly found a lot of pro American staffers whom I still know today.

We all love the fine American culture of looking at naked hot women :) Unlike the newfound push for disgusting faggotry by the left of today.

[doorgunner69]

Ignored is the possibility that the magazine sales plummeted because of the hard left turn it mad decades back.. I certainly got disgusted with the leftist slant to everything, great pictorial content was not enough.

Going from reviewing jazz/rock albums to reviews of video games to appeal to gen-X/Y/Z was just guaranteed to chase away traditional readers.

That Hefner is a sleazy liberal that has hosted many democrat fundraising parties should have killed the rag outright.
