Probably the smartest move they could make IMO. They could do very well with more mainstream options.

end of an era, time to move on !:2 cents::thumbsup

:2 cents:

Too much airbrushing used to be the problem. Then too much plastic surgery became the problem. In the age of advanced computer editing, too much photoshop has become the problem. Playboy should have gone more natural, not more clothing. I've seen drawings and paintings of women that look more realistic than the fake photos of fake women that Hef likes.

It's hard to think Playboy without thinking 'nudes'.

A dozen or so badly cropped and touched up photos of women who all looked the same.

That was really something to look forward to 12 times a year.

Thank Jesus the Internet came along.

No, this is what happens when you get married.

From the second that Hefner got hitched, he should have turned the empire over to his son or someone who could accurately represent what he started.

Marriage changes your outlook on everything. Hence his agreement.

Playboys aren't married.

When is the last nudy mag being published?

:thumbsup RIGHT!

Let's not forget the power of Playboy, they can get top celebs to pose, maybe a Taylor Swift or a Kate Upton, that's still the power that they have over the other big sites. They can also get middle class coeds to pose who wouldn't take their clothes off for any other site. Playboy still has this edge to play with

Im ok with that

Sure, I read the articles
