Heard that on the radio this morning, hard to believe.

Maxim and FHM are far and away outselling it and if you want full frontal, I've heard of this device that exists....

I always just read the articles anyway.

For me it was just hard to believe. With all of the lawsuits and such over freedom of speech I was flabbergasted to learn that they are basically backpedalling and not going to publish what they fought so hard to be allowed for.

Paper porn is just too old school. Gotta make room for more articles if they want to keep subscribers now.

They also have a website and if I remember correctly from the article, they stopped putting nudes on it in August. So they are also with the times in terms of a web presence.

I have exactly one copy of Playboy, it is the issue that had the complete "The Devil and Billy Markham" story by Shel Silverstein, only time it was printed in it's entirety.

Shel Silverstein's -- The Devil and Billy Markham

Sneaking Playboys at the barber shop growing up felt like a right of passage. However, it was sneaking a playboy from a friend's father's collection that introduced me to my first...Isaac Assimov story. Playboy has a long history of really good journalism, interviews and fiction. I actually may subscribe once the new format is revealed.

Changing with the times is really getting old.

Well, I hope they announce which issue will be the last "good" one. That will be a must have.

 

[Rarejewell]

I wonder if the other "skin" mags are going to follow suit?

Like the pyromaniac giving up matches after lighting the forest fire.

cause Hustler has such enlightened articles....

 

[femurphy77]

Perhaps this should be part of the "Wussification of America" thread!?

That is some funny **it!

Playboy was always just a little more than PG-13 anyway. It won't be much of a change in their photography.

Some people would say that if you can appreciate my sense of humor, there might be something wrong with both of us!

If that's the case I am ok with that. I LIKE being different!
