... it was announced that PLAYBOY will be eliminating pics of naked women from the magazine ...
... but how can PLAYBOY survive without NAKED LADIES? isn't that what the magazine is all about?
... what's your take on this? is it just a last-gasp publicity gimmick of an already deceased publication? or is there an audience for a family-friendly PLAYBOY magazine?
... any thoughts on this?
It will still contain scantily clad women. Their lingerie editions used to be wildly popular...

... they'll be competing with men's magazines like MAXIM now ...
I used to have a Maxim subscription. I think Playboy is for an older audience.

... well, the naked women were always just a segment of the mag, they also have interviews with celebs, short stories and nonfiction articles ...
Naked women have never been as prominent in Playboy as they have been in other mags like Penthouse or Hustler, etc.

You know what the problem with most men's magazines are? Once a guy buys them, brings them home and reads them , no one else can read them ever again....because the pages are all stuck together. :nea:
I only read it for the articles.
The articles were awesome!!
I really didnt care for for the naked women but it was nice to look at when i was younger.
Who really needs the magazine when you have access to the internet? ac_dunno
Shark will have to find a real girlfriend now

... i thought i was going to witness someone buying one once. i was standing in the checkout line and there was a woman behind me who picked up a HELLO magazine and started looking through it. even that i found to be a rare thing. i wondered to myself, will she buy it or not? but alas, after leafing through it she put it back in the rack. that was the closest thing to a magazine sale in the safeway checkout line i've ever seen ...
... however, i did see a woman purchase a crossword pocketbook from the magazine section once. and i've started buy HDVIDEOPRO magazine there myself ...
I have in my collection, the first Playboy Magazine which featured a Chinese playmate from 1964.

How did I know you had a PB collection?
Why do I get the feeling that Joe got off more on Woody Allen?

...Have you ever posed nude for a photography session, 'Real?
Are there secret photos of you floating around the 'net?

I wish I kept my dad's classic Playboys.
Miss China Lee has quite a rack!
Ahem... but as was previously said, paper magazines are becoming redundant with the rise of Internet access. Journalism is becoming a dying industry, so they will have to improvise to draw new subscribers.
