- dreamrealI was always kinda annoyed that playboy did actually have some pretty good writers
- GreenResponseapparently that was a porn magazine for well-off educated 1% males
- dreamrealNot sure that's the case: it was pretty popular among the unwashed. But it DID cater to the high end, part of its appeal to the unwashed: they could appreciate the marketing guff around things they could not afford while ogling nekkid ladies.

- cheeserit's like britney spears teaches calculus. lure them in with the pretty. send them away with the lurning.
