Playboy no longer nude

[ZERO THEORY]

This is news? Some people need to get a life. Sheesh.

I'd consider it news, because it stands to reason that there are only two possibilities.

A. They have a household name and think they can expand their dying medium and target market by making the product more appealing to a younger/more prude/more mainstream audience.

B. They're folding under the PC pressure to not "exploit" women or "promote rape culture" or any number of painfully-stupid complaints about their content.

If it's B, then the foundation is continuing to sink at a faster rate each day.

Explicit images are a click away. They have to evolve or they'll die.

My parents had a big, faded (it was no doubt from the 70's) hardbook of Playboy's cocktail recipes. Imagine my disappointment as a young lad when they had left the house and I climbed up to the top levels of the bookshelf to discover that it was full of... recipes with nary an illustration of the non-beverage form. In fact, they still have it and it still taunts me from atop the bookcase.
