I remember the articles talking about up and coming jesus why is this in playboy actress Jodie Foster and some vietnam stuff I forget the topic, but at a dinner table discussion my dad cited an article he read in Playboy. My sister and I immediately ragged on him. He just calmly said, "Oh, no, they used to have some very good articles." and my mum added that it had articles comparable to Vanity Fair. I guess I never realized how weird it was to have award-winning articles in a celebrity and fashion mag, but I guess they did it in porn mags too.

The list of authors who had stories published by Playboy is impressive. Even sleazier magazines have published stories by people who are big names now.

2 old football rivals brawl at a luncheon and ruin the whole thing. Aside from the fight, there is MASSIVE bonus cringe at 7:21 when one of the guys tries to tell a joke that goes over horribly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrkEROiQsa8

Sinners Sandwich posted:My great grandfather died before I was born and he spent his golden years collecting Playboy and Heavy Metal so of course I had to take one or two before my parents sold it off, which they were okay with. Old Playboys are legit. They have surprisingly little porn in them and are mostly restaurant and movie reviews, interviews (including politicians like the mayor of NYC), and clothing ads. The letters sections are also full of counterculture stuff, like pro-LGBT writings in the 1960s.

Also, a LOT of old sci-fi authors got early stories published in Playboy, back when it was that and pulps hidden off in corners before SF made it big in general as a genre.

I think they even had good political coverage. I heard a few months ago that they're looking into removing the porn entirely and just publish it as an actual magazine that focuses on well researched or interesting topics. I personally think that's the smartest thing the company could do. Hell, they should even give it the subtitle "Read it for the articles." for the first couple years

If you asked 12-17 year old FCKGW, he'd have said he was bullied every day. But it turns out I had a huge loving cock and was the envy of the school; turns out once your dick gets past 8+ inches you're no longer an 'average size' dick haver. Most of those 'bullies' were people joking around to see my monster wang (rather than sneaking a peek in the shower ). I keep getting notes from facebook/etc of people really excited to hear from me and my enormous pecker(plus one guy apparently gay for me ?? ??).Long story short, loving massive cock. Life is tough

Subjunctive posted:They have done so. You can find it next to Esquire and GQ in many stores. Wait so, did they drop the pinup bits altogether and it's all articles now? Or did they just cut down on the nudes and included more written material? I guess with internet porn being literally everywhere it's tough to try and sell printed stuff nowadays, especially as even most middle-aged people know enough computer stuff to find what they want. Also wasn't Hefner selling the Playboy mansion?

In case you haven't seen it before, this is probably the purest schadenfreude I've ever witnessed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT21CI4GRUM Police detective Stephanie Lazarus murdered a woman she was jealous of and went 25 years free due to a poor investigation. DNA evidence finally linked her to a bite wound on the victim, and she was arrested and convicted of first degree murder. Her initial police interrogation before she got formally arrested and charged is a full hour of her flubbing her way through a painful series of questions. Anyone have any other good legal schadenfreude sources? It's one of my favorite genres but it's sometimes hard to find. Courtroom smackdowns, sassy lawyer letters, that kind of stuff.
