True...which to me is sad. Now I don't read/look/watch Playboy, but what I have liked about the Playboy that I have seen...it is so much more tasteful and just illustrations of naked women as compared to the likes of Hustler or the push for something more 'real' like the girl next door nonsense. Yet in my opinion, viewers of inappropriate content aren't out for tastefuls, they want the full fledge nitty gritty. I would argue that Playboy shouldn't even be considered 'inappropriate content' but like you said...that's another thread Yet while I do agree with you with the 16 year old comment...that would be hiliarious to be the person behind the 16 year old boy getting carded because he wanted a Playboy or something. I would love to see that happen.
Not even for the articles?
I agree completely. There's actually a blog I follow that has old Playmate scans (it's not just Playboy scans, but it's like, old and rare photos before the 1980s) - and it's honestly, so much more refreshing than what I imagine current Playboy looks like (from what I've seen of Holly Madison on Dancing with the Stars.) There wasn't a whole lot of ethnic diversity - from what I could tell - but none of them really had that 'seen the better side of the tracks' look to them. They didn't look... cheap. I'm not saying there isn't a place for cheap (I personally, loved how campy Pamela Anderson came off during Dancing with the Stars), but all of the ones that get VH1 hosting and reality show deals now look TERRIBLE. Plastic, over-tanned, peroxide'd and very waxen.
Honestly, the idea of Hustler (which I've never seen) rather grosses me out. The old Playmate scans all have that soft-focus lighting, winged eyeliner and big hair (you know you have too much makeup and hair product when...) but, there - to me - is nothing sensual about graphic shots that Hustler alledgedly has.
I don't mind the strictness to the laws here. I think its good. What I hate is paying a hefty sin tax for things of that nature. Thankfully I quit cigarettes so I no longer pay double taxes ya know?
Congrats. Ciggs - from what I can tell are still pretty expensive here, and they've raised prices in the province to try and convince people not to smoke 'em. Doesn't seem to be working.
Yea I agree about the Canadian Club. I had it with Club Soda. The club soda didn't save it.
I don't think anything could save CC.
