Look on the bright side, now people don't have to worry about pages sticking.

For some reason I follow PLayboy on Facebook and they post a lot of fun and at times insightful blogs. If that's where the magazine is going it has potential.

I can get that they are trying to revitalize with some new direction-but this feels like one of those changes made for no particular reason

Penthouse is better anyways, they made Caligula. Playboy made Macbeth Kinda gives new meaning to "Out, out, damned spot."

This is just crazy enough to work. I know it's a common gag that people read Playboy "for the articles" but the articles are pretty well-written and the spreads have been the softest of softcore for years anyway, so it isn't too much of a change for them to go merely risque.
They can go the SI Swimsuit Issue or Maxim route, get more high-profile models who otherwise wouldn't do nudes, and sell itself on its content rather than something completely outclassed by the countless amounts of internet porn.

Taking marketing cues from Non-alcoholic Duff. Even if the articles are good, it doesn't work in waiting rooms because it was known as THE nudie mag.
Reinventing gimmicks does crap when you become yet another version of magazines already out there.

In an age where literally billions of images of naked women, enough to easily match anyone's specific preferences, are available with just a few simple clicks of an internet browser, are there honestly people who are still buying nudie magazines? And if so: why? Kinda my feelings as well. I think Maxim was the foreshadowing, but the internet and it's catering to every sick fetish just ensures no place for playboy models.

I remember how excited I was when the first Sable issue came out. First time I ever bought one. A hot girl was working the register when I bought it. Felt embarrassed but thought maybe she'd say I can see her naked in person instead. Alas she didn't though.

Maxim called from 15 years ago to tell Playboy they're stealing their gimmick.

Playboy should begin posting nude photos of trans women. Society has progressed enough now for this.

Playboy's pretty much just been a slightly more highbrow and much better written Maxim for a while now.

Maxim called from 15 years ago to tell Playboy they're stealing their gimmick. They start the conversation with "I only have so many minutes, so I'll keep this short".

In a related story, Hustler's Beaver Hunt now features pictures of actual beavers. First pictorial is of Kevin Dunn.

I think I was more upset when The Sun took Page 3 out of their paper and it became an online-only thing (Which you had to be a paying subscriber to their website to see). It was the least offensive thing they put in there.
I wish Playboy the best in their Future Endeavors, but this will not end well.

Playboy does have some good articles. When my now wife moved in she was not happy with my subscription. Then she started reading them when she was on the toilet. She was the one who wrote the check to renew it.
But print is dead
