Oh My God NO!!!! The Death of Playboy Magazine. lol

8 years ago

The last time I looked at a playboy the "nudes" where reveling, but didn't revel everything. I'm thinking it was in the early 70's maybe.
I was actually surprised Playboy mag still existed.

Thanks

I didn't even know that Playboy was still published.

The least popular cable channel is the Playboy channel. And here is why. ...it's not as explicit as what you can see in soft porn on Showtime, and certainly not as explicit as anything anyone can see online.

And it's not something someone would subscribe to, unless they wanted to see naked women.

But...I have to admit...that Playboy played a very important part of my early teenage years.

Yeah, now we got Tumblr, Snapchat, Tinder, Meatbox, CMonover, Holepeer, Lickoflix, BurnRubber, Zonegroper, PixelbootZ, etc, anyone who wantsta can go strip 24/7 for anyone wants 'em.

As a bonus, alla the woody gets to stay in the trees, which is kinda great for the environment.

Way I see it, pictures kinda blow all the fun.

Best scary movies getcha all strung up on nuthin', like the less you see of the monster, the scarier he gets.

Conversely, alla the squirtin' gore movies screw on your imagination.

Can't tellya the mess I'm in right now seein' references all over to 'Matt Damon' and 'duct tape'.

Full frontal yadda yadda yadda — jus' bowl me the frickin' filth from leftfield why dontcha?

In a recent RJ thread here - I was surprised at the reaction to mention of "party at the Playboy Mansion". Apparently among some of the male gender this is still considered the thing to do? Who would have thunk it?

Had to dig to find it but reminded me of an hilarious article I read about a visit to "the mansion"....this stuff is FUNNY! The photos totally MATCH the text.

Now, that is unfair Whate..., it took him about half and hour to pry the donut from her first?

Once he had that, he whispered something about "my Precious" and went somewhere quiet?

It's funny now, but as a 14 year old boy, I didn't know where babies came out, or what a woman even looked like nude. Playboy was a revelation to me.

Ok, really, I learned most of this in my mid 30s. And I still don't know if women can fart.

My wife told me that she would reveal all these secrets on my deathbed. I can't wait.

When I was about 20, my friend and I were in a bar, and met two really good looking girls. They had to use the restroom...together, of course, and I decided to do the same. Between restrooms, you could hear the conversation....

"OK, we'll sleep with them, but I want the taller one"
"Good. how do we switch partners? I like the other one better"

I went out and told my friend what I heard.
For some reason, the evening went much more smoothly after that.

I don't think I've ever seeing Playboy magazine, or if I did I don't remember. I think the equivalent over here was probably Mayfair and Razzle and one reason I liked going to my cousins as a kid was because he had a drawer full which I used to "borrow".

The best time at primary school other than home time was when we did art and had to cover the table with old newspapers. The teachers never bothered removing what we call page three so there were always the odd pair of breasts (and normal ones too) spread over the tables. I think they've did away with page three this year.

The thing is Playboy has always had some interesting reading in each magazine. It has published articles and short stories by such notable authors as Arthur C. Clarke (author of 2001: A Space Odyssey), and Ian Fleming (creator of James Bond).

If they can publish high quality fiction and non-fiction works by well known writers it may well revive it's fortunes, although ultimately magazines are a dying medium.

Perhaps an online subscription setup with quality reading is the future for them.

Maybe. Yes, Playboy is also known for it's great interviews and stories. This may actually save the magazine. It will certainly broaden the readership.

That looks like the right direction. The second Times article talks about making the content suitable for the work place. The first Times article talks about how similar print magazines are doing things.
High end photography and fashion ... and high subscription pricing with smaller circulation. Suitable for the coffee table.
