1. Who reads Playboy anymore, anyway?

There's no point anymore--you can see a whole mess of nekkid women on the Internetz for free.

[CatWoman]

2. that's why I say consider the source

:)

[EOTE]

14. Does anybody know Wank Magazine's opinion of Olbermann?

Playboy has become far too mainstream for me, Wank's political commentary is far more spot on.

[gkhouston]

17. There's actually a magazine called *Wank*?

Damn, I need to stay in more.

[Dr. Strange]

3. Say what you want about the writers, BUT ...

I really think I have to agree with Blake Shulsky on this one.

[CatWoman]

5. LOLOLOLOLOL

slut!!! :)

[Bicoastal]

6. I agree overwhelmingly and incontrovertibly with Cameron Haven...

...and I don't even know where she stands on the issue.

I just want to know where she stands.

:P

4. These guys are just advertising that they are.......

losers who obviously can't get any. And dumb, to boot. :rofl:

[hfojvt]

7. at least they printed an overwhelmingly negative response

which may or may not represent most of their mail.

8. "W.W. Dubbs?"

Is that his real name?

9. I believe a huge portion of their subscriber base is military

It's so soft-core it's the only skin rag allowed for many servicemen. I subscribed many years ago, and tried again about three years ago when I got a "too good to pass up" offer and said what the hell. But the mag has taken a very right-wing stance on many issues. I didn't re-up.

10. That's the thing about the power of the corporate media, they can choose

whichever letters to the editor they wish to publish, while ignoring any positive letters. They have the power to skew the results to whatever ends suit their corporate agenda. If the letters were 80/20 in favor, they can make it 50/50 or worse just by an editor's choice.

P.S. Disclaimer, I haven't read that article, but the point remains true.

11. What the HELL did they do to Olbermann's photo?

He looks like he's wearing lipstick, blush and eyeshadow. Nice editorializing through retouching.

[Warren DeMontague]

23. The automated airbrushing machine thought he was a centerfold?

:shrug:

[Binka]

12. I Smell Bullshit The Julian Moseley Letter Is A Crock

He is from San Francisco; a total liberal haven, he uses the words "erudite", "allegedly", and "buffoonish" spelled correctly, and he is defending BillO????? WTF:wtf: This is a complete fabrication.

[grasswire]

13. I note that none of the negative responses...

...are from north of the Mason Dixon line and its equivalent parallel.

[Omega3]

20. I too noticed the geographical difference of opinion,

kind of funny but then again it would be good for us to actually win a state in the south sometime. Would make life much easier.

[blondeatlast]

15. "Thank you for recycling." LOL! nt

[gkhouston]

16. I was amused by "I will not have anything near me with Olbermann in it."

Usually I would expect something along the lines of, "I will not read any publication tainted by his words" or equivalent drivel.

Yeah buddy, Olbermann's glad not to be near you, too.

[tandem5]

18. Oh but this magazine never gets into the hardcore issues. nt

[lonestarnot]

19. Bimborods there, nothing more.

[VotesForWomen]

21. hmm, Playboy. nt

[RoadRage]

22. Um.. i only look at Playboy for the pictures. NT

[redqueen]

25. Not the most thinkingest thinkers "reading" that mag, I bet. (nt)

[CatWoman]

26. kick

Playboy readers don't know jack

:kick:

[Dukkha]

27. Playboys is the O'Reilly of skin mags.

outdated and totally irrelevant. Just one millimeter notch above moran rags like Maxim & Stuff. The SF Buffoon doesn't realize Billo's thee times the size vier's medium age is 70! Most are probably bedridden and cant get up to change the channel.
