No, the subliminals have always been there. Some of the "women" on Playboy's cover, are men who have been airbrushed over to appear as women.

The Playboy logo, the bunny head with two big ears, is used as castration symbolism throughout the magazine. The logo is a "father" symbol, used on the cover to give "permission" to the immature little reader to peek insode, and indulge. Hefner has played a little game all these years with that logo. It always appears twice on each cover, one you can easily see, the other is woven into the layout, or "hidden". It is always used as castration symbolism. The inside of the mag is loaded as well, from the bunny pics, to the advertising.

BTW, Warner Brothers used to use Bugs Bunny as a castration symbol, because of the big ears. Think of those two big bunny ears for a moment.....what could those big ears possibly be a symbol for? I can only think of two things: "V" for victory (which doesn't seem to apply), and scissors! (Which DOES apply!) If you can think of any other symbol, let me hear about it!

Bugs Bunny always tops his adversaries in some way. He's a smart-assed character who always gets the best of someone. Remember the Bugs cartoon where he runs about with a pair of scissors clipping off men's neckties? Voila!

I think you nailed it. I'll meet you tonight behind the firehouse, and then we'll attack Warner Brothers and the Playboy Mansion.

I advocate many more, bigger and stronger closets, perferably constructed on ships that can be loaded with the human types discribed above, and "SUNK!!!!"

thats a scary thought. so, who according to you is actually worthy of remaining alive and living in your utopia?

Sometimes, things are just as they seem. Stupid is, as stupid does! Don’t be stupid!

There has been a sea change in popular conceptions of masculinity over the last several decades alright.

There's nothing funnier or sadder than someone who thinks they catch on, but don't.

Kinsey, who died prematurely of disease associated with excessive masturbation

It's traditional to post a C&C (Coffee & Cats) warning on such statements.

[ramdalesh]

This is a great thread.

[Economist_MA]

Actually there is: It's the person who thinks he's playing chess when in fact he's playing checkers.

[babylonian]

Well, then why don't you learn chess?

[Economist_MA]

Too few worthy opponents. Gotta keep it simple.

Kinsey, who died prematurely of disease associated with excessive masturbation...

LOL! Wouldn't most teenage boys be dead of this "disease"?

I was told it would only make one go blind.

"This entire article is driven by the fear that somebody, somewhere may be having fun. The author of this drivel isn't one of them."

And, somehow, I suspect that those of us who view commitment as the goal, and not "fun" as the goal, are having a lot more fun and having it a lot more frequently. :)

My bachelor, playboy brother-in-law is trying desparately to grow up in his fifties (much older than my husband), and he is finding that a bit difficult to do this late in life. Funny, he thought he was leading this swinging, exciting life. Ha! What does he have? Memories of one night stands, relationships gone bad, and his favorite porn. Well, at least his favorite babes haven't grown old with him. They are frozen in time.

I think you are right on the money, even if that may surprise you. I am a fan of what I view as the healthy middle, which consists of having fun for a certain period of your life and commitment for the remainder. I am deep in the second period, but I am sure I would feel that I missed out if I hadn't enjoyed the first. And that first part encompasses bad relationships, ugly break-ups and several other nasty aspects, as well as a lot of fun. At least some of us need to have been there before they can full-heartedly enjoy the more traditional lifestyle, and this group includes me. Just mho.

Why don't you two meet after school on the playground?
