Playboy got rid of nudity because they'd already been hemorrhaging money for years anyways and knew that no one has been buying the magazine for that for a long time now. They just forgot the part about keeping the interviews and articles really good instead. Also at some point someone decided, you know, getting rid of nudity isn't quite enough, let's have this month's centerfold be a Muslim in a headscarf. That will get really get the sweet, sweet super inclusive tumblrite dollars. Turns out super inclusive tumblrites are, to a xir, broke and unable to buy magazines anyways. Also the Playboy mansion has been on the market for awhile now, but the buyer must agree to let Hef live there until he dies. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2016/01/11/playboy-mansion-on-sale-for-200-million/78621932/ Holy poo poo it actually sold.

I buy Playboys at airports when I travel so I have something if I get stuck somewhere with no wifi. Or I did until they stopped with the nudity.

Playboy at least used to feature serious literary content, including articles, stories, or interviews with: Joseph Heller, Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Margaret Atwood, Haruki Murakami, Norman Mailer, Ray Bradbury, Jack Kerouac, Kurt Vonnegut, Vladimir Nabokov, and others

According to some of Hef's "ex-girlfriends" the place reeks of piss from his untamed dogs ( him too probo ) and is in general disrepair. Someone also posted about them selling the brand for merchandising but their real hopes was having something like the Pink store with a ton of poo poo they could sell to preteens with the logo on it. Some how I don't think that will ever come to pass.

There is something pleasing that Hef is this low while Flynt is still doing good.

The men's room had about 50 Playboys in it so I read them to see what the big deal was. Then they were going to get inspected so I was told to get rid of them. So I boxed them up and gave them to my brother who was like 15 at the time.

If Playboy were full of pinup girls and sent back to that 1950s aesthetic (to a degree) with some decent lifestyle articles they could cash in on the vintage trend hipster dudes. The same kind that collect records, for the most part. Too bad they sold themselves out with cheap and trashy branding deals.

Honestly I'm kind of shocked that magazines as a whole are still profitable. I guess waiting rooms need reading material?

Well yeah, for years people said they just read Playboy for the articles. Seems like kind of a waste of ink to keep printing pictures if no one is going to look at them.

I think they'd do better going quarterly and becoming some sweet rear end coffee table book with cool photography along the lines of something that'd be popular on Instagram. Nobody wants to pay money for content you can find on the internet on a medium that is designed for throwing in the trash. If you're going to publish your content on something physical in the internet age I wanna be able to keep it and show it off.

Playboy socks are very popular with pre-teens in Japan (socks are the only "individual" item you can show off for clothes if your school has a uniform). Weird to see a kid on the street wearing this brand...

Playboy, I thought, tried to eventually enforce some sort of trademark or copyright on the concept of 'bunny girl' costume but it was after a lot of media had already co-opted it as sort of a generic 'sexy' shorthand.
