Playboy is going nude (again) - NSFW

NY Post
The 63-year-old legendary men’s magazine is bringing back nude models in its upcoming issue — one year after banning naked photos in an effort to boost circulation and attract more mainstream advertisers.
That effort obviously has failed.
“I’ll be the first to admit the way in which the magazine portrayed nudity was dated, but removing it entirely was a mistake,” Cooper Hefner tweeted Monday. “Nudity was never the problem, because nudity isn’t a problem. Today, we’re taking our identity back and rediscovering who we are.”
The new issue displays breasts and butts, but not full frontal nudity that had typified the earlier incarnation before the switch with the March issue a full year earlier. While the “no nudes” permitted greater ability to display the magazine on newsstands, the rise in newsstand sales apparently did not offset the plunge in subscription sales.
The move comes four months after Cooper Hefner, the son of founder Hugh Hefner and an outspoken critic of the move to ban nude models, was installed as chief creative officer last October
The new issue introduces model Elizabeth Elam as Miss March 2017 in a photo spread shot by photographer Gavin Bond.

That was Playboy's version of "New Coke"...

Playboy has only existed for the last 15 years as a vehicle to get Hugh some models still willing to sleep with him.
Time to introduce Gramps to online escorts services and shut this thing down.

Get better writers and talented photogs and the subscriptions will increase again. I have no plans to subscribe but I could see international magazine subscriptions rising
How pissed would you be if you were Pam Anderson? She was supposed to be "the last cover"

I was hoping Sierra Sky would be the first one to pose nude in the new/old Playboy.

First Coke screwed things up, then Playboy. Some things should never change in the first place.

If I want nudity or porn, I surf the internet. I was a subscriber of Playboy for over 30 years. They not only quit nudity but the Playboy Advisor was scaled back big time and the articles were pretty much gone. Maxim Magazine was another to go to pretty much advertising. No crude humor nor sexy women. I personally think Playboy is a thing of the past. When I quit them, the subscription was only 800,000. That's pretty lame for a notable magazine. RIP Playboy.
