Almost a year a ago, Playboy Magazine dumped nude photo layouts from its pages, I guess because management believed people really would "read it for the articles." Few did. So, nudity is back in Playboy: www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2017/02/13/playboy-brings-nudity-back-magazine/97868038/They're also bringing back the Playboy Party Jokes section. Thank goodness. But they're getting rid of the "Entertainment for Men" subtitle on the cover. Meh. It's not 1977. I can't see how this matters a whit. What do you think?

Yeah, they seem to have missed that nude pictures are now pretty easy to come by for free without leaving the house.
Of course, they're not all as smoothly airbrushed and artfully posed as Playboy's.

Even before the switch-up, Playboy (even the name is passe) was played out. Returning to tastefully airbrushed nudity doesn't buy the mag a second life. Softcore skin rags were killed off by the abundance of all the free porn on the Internet.
Playboy going back to the old skin game won't change the fact its had its day and it's long gone.

With or without nudes, print is dead.

I still prefer to read books in print (though I love my kindle for reading while traveling and commuting). I absorb the information better, and retain more of it, and I enjoy the beauty of language more. For me, at least, I experience them differently. I think there are enough of us like that so that there is some future for books in print. But then, I tend to only buy books I think I'm going to want to keep and look into again. I don't buy beach reads.
But magazines and newspapers in print -- yeah, I don't see much future in that. Even for publications I enjoy, I really don't want piles of them to stack up for recycling, and I hate getting newsprint all over my fingers.

Not sure why they don't just go to an online-only model with ads and/or low-price subscriptions. The only real or unique draw that their nude spreads have is when they're able to get someone rather well-known (i.e., celebrity of some sort) to do a photo-shoot. If someone just wants to see tits these days, the internet is much easier and has a much wider selection.

I'm watching a pair of really big boobs right now in my living room on national tv. Trump and Pence are talking about the coronavirus. In fact, there are a lot of boobs up there.
