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!!!

Article schmartickle that's not why you buy Playboy.
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.
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.
There goes that!
I remember sneaking into my brother s rom to look at the pictures !

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!
