On the Media

Let's talk about Playboy Magazine. No more nudes!

Physical: We're talking about a magazine, which is interesting, because people think that print is dying. 

Psychological: I think playboy is doing this because sex has become such a big deal that they are making a smart business move getting sidestepping the controversy. Don't get me wrong. There have always been people upset about Playboy, and pornography, and the like. What I'm saying is that the big gay revolution is happening right now, and it's making people fight back more. Playboy is likely lumped in with all the other sex hungry, fetish mongers.

Cultural: I think that back when playboy started (1953) the cultural eye glared a little less intensely at sex related magazines, and now that people are becoming more polarized, Playboy is cooling it's jets.

Social: EVERYBODY is talking about this, and EVERYONE has an opinion, and EVERYBODY'S opinion will be reflected somewhere on the internet.

Temporal: I think people are looking at this the wrong way. Playboy isn't trying to "clean up" their magazine, or "coming to the light". They're trying to maintain their income.

My Comments: I think Playboy might have made a really smart, and daring move. They can sell the magazine in more places. It's more socially acceptable to buy it. This is a huge PR move. People are going to buy so many issues of this magazine that Playboy can sit back and relax while people decide how they feel about it.

Last note as always: I never claim to KNOW very many things, especially when we're talking about places I've never been, people I've never known, theories I've never tested, and experiences I've never had.
