Playboy

I was never a lover of the Playboy articles, but I did look at the pictures. Never again, and though some would say a 55 year old man has no business looking at pictures of half naked women anyway, Playboy has lost the support of literally every married or otherwise spoken for man in the United States.

Imagine trying to explain to your significant other now why you would have Playboy magazine in the bathroom or at the bottom of a sock drawer. Hugh Hefner has finally run out of luck permanently. Playboy is no more.

We really haven't lost anything anyway. I was actually surprised that Playboy was still in business in 2009, given the breadth of available pornography at megabit speeds in most homes today. I suppose it was inevitable that Playboy would go down in flames as its' relevance has all but completely diminished anyway. After all, the NY Times is taking shots at conservatives everyday, as they take the slow train into bankruptcy. Why would Playboy be any different? The opposite of sex appeal is rape, where in the case of the Times, the opposite of news is vile gossip.
