First of all, typical liberal...I love free speech as long as it doesn’t offend me. Secondly, no wonder Playboy is going broke when they make crap like this instead of concentrating of producing a good magazine. Remember when you read it for being a good magazine instead of a tribute to a 81-year old man’s vanity? Thank God Christy is retiring. Who in their right mind would put a woman in charge of a man’s magazine?

Things like this are what keeps Playboy afloat. Licensing their logo and their pictures is pure profit-Playboy doesn't actually make the snowboards, they just give the manufacturer the license to use Playboy's intellectual property, in exchange for royalty payments. Plus, this is free advertising.

Playboy magazine is what's known as a "loss leader." It stopped being profitable a while ago and is unlikely ever to come out of the red. Playboy keeps publishing it in order to maintain its "brand."
