also playboy mags did not die, they were just replaced.
ie, they were in between being porn and lads mags.
many porn mags came out, taking there porn market.
then (in the uk) lots and lots of lads mags came out, and i belive many still do great sales. but they also have topless (and nude i think) girls in them. but they are also full of content.
playboy just sat and did not adapt.
almost like 'woolworths' in the uk. they had a place years agfo, but other shops came along and did the bits they did much better. such as toy'r'us did toys, lots of shops did houshold goods. in the end they did not change and simply lost ground.
if playboy mag had gone more lads mag, and filed it up with lots of daft stories, it would be doing well. plus to be honest as they were classed as porn, in the uk is was not easy to find as not many shops stocked it. lads mags are in every supermarket.
but even shops that sold hard core mags did not always sell playboy as they viewed it too soft and wanted to only sell hard core mags.
but i can go in most supermarkets in the uk that sells mags and often i see people picking up lads mags.
its just playboy grew too big and lost touch with people.
and to be honest i think the only reason it got popular was at the time there were little or no porn mags and they sold as a sort of 'not a dirty' porn mag.
