Say it ain't so!!!!!
Thanks to declining sales brought about in part by the abundance of free porn and nudity on the internet, Playboy Magazine has decided that it will stop featuring pictures of nude women in the print version of it's magazine beginning next March. The editorial staff, including Hef himself, have decided to redesign the magazine's format. It will still show scantily clad women in "provocative poses", but they will no longer be totally nude. Playboy has seen it's circulation decline from 5.6 million in 1975, to just 800,00. The fact that many stores have stopped carrying it hasn't helped. http://www.businessinsider.com/playboy-magazine-will-no-longer-feature-nude-women-in-its-print-edition-2015-10 http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/13/business/media/nudes-are-old-news-at-playboy.html?_r=0 Looks like yet another cultural icon of the twentieth century is going by the wayside. |

Actually, I've never purchased or subscribed to dirty magazines period.
Just thought it was an interesting story reflective of the times we live in. |

Yes, I was a little shocked to hear it too.
Don't ask me how I know this but Playboy seems "tame" compared to some of the smutty filth that's out there. And anyway, most men bought Playboy "just for the articles" anyway. |

Those men were probably faggots; if I were straight, I'd purchase Playboy so I could sit on the toilet, grab some oil and a big wad of Cleanax tissue, and spank the monkey to all of the nude pix in it.

Also... That's kind of like asking someone who has been going to Red Robin all their life and getting nice, presentable, burgers brought out to them on a plate, to go to Burger King and have them throw a whopper into your back seat through a half-open window. Sure, you can still eat it, but damn is it going to look like a train wreck. |

Oh well. Playboy's layouts were too tastefully done for today's audience, anyway. |

They lost the current generation when they failed to include pictures of their models twerking in the nude.

It was great to be young when I was, Playboy was hot stuff.
Now, it's pretty tame.
They must be reaching for a broader audience.

^ Speaking of PC, just last night on one of the news channels, I heard a woman use the term "person hours" (I forget what the story was about). It sounded so odd, it took me a few seconds to realize she was talking about "man hours", as in hours worked. We've gone daft. |

See, now that one just won't work. Everyone knows that a woman hour is only 42 minutes, that's why women make 70% of what men make. It can be a man hour, or a woman hour, but if it's going to be a "person" hour, we have to average it out to 51 minutes.

We also had Penthouse, Hustler, Swank, Screw and others. Then, there was the really hardcore stuff. |

No more nude photos in future issues of Playboy?! Although I haven't seen a copy of that skin magazine for a couple of decades, I can't imagine it not having nude photos within.
This is definitely because of all of the free porno available on the Internet. |

And Fidel Castro had a subscription to Cub 'Uns. There was also one about nude librarians called Library 'Uns. |
