Playboy to drop nude pictures by 2016, aiming at PG-13 content.

Pity this transformation did not occur back when Cal was still single.

When he was single he didn't have the money to buy a chick with Playboy certified fake boobs.  He probably still doesn't.

So now it is cosmo for men?

Seems like there are already cosmos for men.

Woah, that's quite a shocker.  Where am I going to find nude pictures now?

I think the article tells you want to do, Tim.

I will miss the centrefold though, in that they presented a historic look at women's figures over the years.

For Xmas a few years ago I bought myself received a copy of Playboy The Complete Centrefolds, featuring all the centrefolds from the beginning to 2007, and you can see how women got thinner along the way, breasts got faker, and pubic hair disappeared. Quite the transformation.

2/3 ain't bad.

Americans have gotten significantly fatter since 1953. I am not sure this is providing an accurate historical portrayal.

I used the wrong terms. I mean the ideal woman got skinnier, had larger, though somewhat artificial looking, boobs and the pubis of a 10 year old.

Heterosexuals be fucked up. News at 11.

I guess. In the same way shaving my face gives me the facial hair of a ten year old.

They say it's due to modern times,  respect for women, etc... but it's clearly down to the Internet and how plentiful porn is there. Pictures of naked women just don't sell like they used to. At least this artile has the right spin on it uNike others I've seen.
Not that things are too much better for general magazines

They said that? That kind of flies against everything they have stood for. Besides the fact that back when showing images of nude women was a major crime women were not exactly respected.

Who knows what 'they' he is nattering on about.

I don't think it is that - I think the whole concept is simply a relic of another time.

Playboy has never been "about" hardcore porn, but rather "about" selling a certain type of lifestyle in which male sexual hedonism was potrayed as sophisticated. The problem is that, while this made sense in the 50s and 60s, increasingly is doesn't.

There was a time when critiquing the playboy aesthetic was considered cutting-edge social criticism: women as luxury objects, like a fancy car or stereo system. Now, no-one would bother.
