Well, I’m in the minority here but Playboy was a good magazine with good journalism and was not porn although I could have done without middle-aged Nancy Sinatra baring all. Hefner was an active film preservationist (silents, classics and foreign), helped to save the iconic Hollywood sign and was well-known to be a really nice guy.
I’m always at the opposite end of the freeper spectrum.
I’m with you regarding Playboy. It featured some of the best writers of our time.
Playboy was clearly a seminal magazine. (no, I said SEMINAL)
