Playboy is featuring naked women again
« on: February 13, 2017, 10:44:47 pm »
The 63-year-old legendary men’s magazine is bringing back nude models in its upcoming issue — one year after banning naked photos in an effort to boost circulation and attract more mainstream advertisers.

That effort obviously has failed.

So it wasn't about the articles after all; it was about the "articles."

What a worthless mag. Anyone with half a brain just goes online for all the FREE naked chicks they could ever want.....unless someone is really into reading long winded articles by Norman Mailer about his waning libido.

Why bother?  I can find a chick getting it on with a telephone pole for free.  It all seems downhill after that.

From the picture, it looks like they are featuring young boys with breasts.

A favorite of urban metrosexual fashionistas who drink Starbucks, carry purses and get pedicures. Women frighten them. And if you haven't ever lived in the tonier precincts of 21st century American Urbania, the women are in fact quite frightening. The men are often possessed of feminine mannerisms, proudly pusillanimous and petulant. Their female counterparts are aggressive, emotionally twitchy, mindlessly acquisitive, and perpetually outraged.

Consider that one of the articles in the Return to Nudity edition:

"Van Jones, American Hero."

When you're desperate to maintain an audience, horny guys probably don't want to hear the rantings of a political movement that wants to emasculate them.

I predict a major uptick in Kleenex stocks.....

I predict a quick bankruptcy.  I guess Hugh Hefner will outlive his money machine, after all.

This was a fast-track to irrelevancy.  In this day and age, anyone who did buy Playboy, bought it out of habit.  That changed when it tried to be come another Esquire.  There isn't room for two; and magazines are obsolete in this age anyway.  It became a publication without a market; and now they want to backtrack.

There is no putting the genii back in the bottle.  No un-breaking the window.  Done is done; fold up and liquidate, decently.

Except for mags like "Guns and Ammo" I don't think there are any men's mags anymore that appeal to red-blooded, conservative males.  I haven't bought either mag for decades, but based on recent  articles I've read from Playboy and Esquire, men's mags seem to have all been taken over by metrosexual pansies i.e. liberals. The kind who are horrified by muscle cars, guns, bar fights, and men urinating standing up.

I remember the Playmate of the Month, when PLAYBOY first showed pubic hair.

She was Swedish blonde.  Very tastefully shot.

PLAYBOY was always respectful of the models.

Unlike PENTHOUSE...which I bought strictly for the LETTERS.      :smokin:
