Nifty.

I bet 93% of the content is not interesting at all though.

(I wonder if the hard drive image file won't be leaked... Actually... I'm sure it has been already.)

I'm sure they're plenty of great articles. For some reason though, we never seem to notice them

All those articles.... Imagine if you had to read all that stuff to qualify to look at the pictures.

The lifestyle articles, especially the older ones, won't be very interesting. But in its prime, Playboy published works from the best writers and frequently excerpted works before books were published from writers like Ian Fleming, Joseph Heller, etc. In fact, if you count pages, one could make the case that Playboy from the 50s to the early 70s was a literary and political magazine that happened to also have photos of nude women, not the other way around.

In addition, the Playboy interviews were always amazingly well done. There was a great Playboy interview with John Lennon and a very insightful one with Akio Morita, the founder of Sony. And they once sent Alex Haley, the author of Roots, to interview the head of the Ku Klux Klan (IIRC).

The early days of the Playboy Pop & Jazz Poll would make an impressive review of the 50s-60s Jazz era. Once they started integrating rock, it kind of corrupted the poll.

And I think many of the cartoons would still be fun.

So I think there is a lot of good content there if one is open to it. But the lifestyle articles will probably all seem silly and dated (although the articles surrounding the nudes will probably also seem silly and dated.)

While Playboy always had great photography for its time, the current repros of the images, at least as they've been printed in a recent large format book that includes every centerfold, isn't that impressive to modern eyes. In older photos, the models are actually kind of heavy by modern standards and many of the poses are kind of silly.

some of the articles would be fun to read now, knowing how things actually are.
kind of like when i go on youtube and watch highlights of nfl drafts from 7 years ago or so and hear someone say, "this will be a top five player in our league in three years, guaranteed" and then you laugh because they were cut three years later and never a good player

so if people actually do read the articles in Playboy, there's sure to be some good, hilarious stuff in there

Could they make it any more conspicuous? If I bought it, I'd have to spray paint it all black, the bunny logo gives it away as an easy target for the wife

I would buy a Penthouse or Club version but Playboy wouldn't be interesting enough.

What? You don't like airbrushed blondes that all look the same?

These girls are so photoshopped, they're more digital than real.
