So readership and as a result ad revenue is way down... in large part due to the ease of getting free internet porn. But do they seriously think that this is going to help?!?!?! NO WAY!!!

 I can't believe that this is for real!!!

It's funny, last week I heard Hustler magazine mentioned and my first thought was how do the mags survive in today's internet world.

honestly though, haven't those airbrushed nudes sucked for decades? i'm 33 and a big fan of the magazine but i only ever really liked the pictures from the 50s through the very early 80s. once hairspray set in it was bye bye boner.

but one of my favorite books ever, flashman at the charge, was serialized in playboy first. so many great writers got their start. it's amazing just how great of an editor hugh hefner is/was.

Best tweet on this was from a writer named Kurt Anderson: "A pornography glut forcing Playboy to abandon nudity in 2016 would've been a funny fictional idea in 1999. Wish I'd thought of it then!"

Not just Gahan Wilson, I liked your Playboy cartoons, too!

Edit: Oops. My Gahan Wilson post was to the Playboy thread on the GD Board. Gahan Wilson had full page color cartoons in Playboy and they were great, too!

Meh not really. They have 800,000 readers left... down from 5-6 million in 1975. How many of those do you seriously think are going to stay when there are no naked women anymore? Yeah they are getting press now but it's no exactly good news.
