Thanks in advance... BTW, My answers are 1) Used to- subsription expired but I still get it, so I don't complain 2)Of course... always read their take on the drug scene... 3) Playboy Advisor - bar none. Then, After Hours... & Newsfront 4) Tasteful "edu-tainment".  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

Oh yeah, no to 1, 2, and 3. 4) Whatever floats your boat.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-14-2004 07:50 PM                     Oh my, I'll bet before the night is out we'll have a thread titled Topic: Playgirl - the magazine(not a self description) from Phil.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-14-2004 07:50 PM                        As Joe would say.. it's because you SUCK...  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-14-2004 08:03 PM                        I would indeed say that you suck but I'd at least need a frame of reference, to which your example of me has none. Anyway: 1) No. That is stupid. Internet porn is free and better if you need that kind of stuff. 2) I probably have at a friend's house. 3) The Q&A is funny (is that the Advisor?) 4) Lame. I hate airbrushed pictures. You've seen one issue of Playboy you've seen them all.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 11-14-2004 08:12 PM                     Jason, did the starting of this thread have anything to do with tonights episode of the Simpson's? I dont subscribe or read. You can do a quick search on yahoo and get all the pictures, too softcore anyway to use them for anything.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-14-2004 08:13 PM                        Brad, My "Becuase you SUCK" comment was directed to Jen.. Also, do not allow Phil to copy my style.. Joe, Airbrush is true.. and yes, the Q&A is the advisor...  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

No, I didn't see the Simpson's tonight.. wish it would re-air at midnight..  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-14-2004 08:55 PM                     1) Subsribe to Playboy: Nope. I had a subscription back in the late 1980's, and have some valuable back issues in the attic (I have the Vanna White one). 2) Actually READ the articles Sometimes. But I usually went straight for the nudie pics. The second thing I would try to find was illustrations and cartoons made by any of my teachers or other members of the faculty at School of Visual Arts (guys like Harvey Kurtzman and Gahan Wilson were frequent contributors). 3) What are your favorite articles? Once in awhile they would have a decent interview, such as this one featuring an interview with Robin Williams. Pretty entertaining. His riffs on John Houseman and the Juliard experience were funny as hell. Sometimes their features on new electronics or other gadgets were interesting. 4) Feel about the magazine, in general... Playboy used to seem hip and timely, but I think it has lost its relevance over the past decade. It also started getting a bit creepy with the centerfolds having birthdays several years or a decade younger than mine. I guess if I picked up an issue now, Miss November would be young enough to be my daughter. Not good.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-15-2004 12:18 AM                     I know I'm gonna get flamed for this any second now, but: 1: Used to, many years ago....; 2: Loved the articles! Read most of 'em; 3: Loved the letters and humor articles the most; 4: Overall thought it was a quality mag. But I really loved the cartoons in Hustler with the granny who had tits that looked like atomic bombs... And no, it wasn't a "phase" I was going through..... Edit: In five, four, three, two, one.......  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 11-15-2004 12:23 AM                     Ah, Jason, You must not have heard of this new invention called a tivo.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 11-15-2004 12:32 AM                        This summer I found about 20 old 1970's Playboys at a garage sale for super cheap. I bought them because a)one had a David Bowie article and b) I was hoping to find some 1970's porn movie reviews in there (I somewhat collect 1970's porn movie posters). Now my boyfriend has them all. No big loss to me since i'm sure that if you see one bush you've seen them all  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-15-2004 02:45 AM                        No, some bushes are trimmed differently than others or are missing altogther! Some engulf the entire underside of the woman something fierce (I haven't encountered that yet, fortunately). But still, Playboy's depiction of women has become boring. Also, Tivo sucks. You have to subscribe. Better to build your own PVR. Cheaper in the long run and ten million times better.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-15-2004 02:54 AM                        I used to subscribe. I quit in probably the mid '90s. Although I like a good nude picture as much as anyone, they did begin to all look pretty much alike after a while. I actually got to where I would pass over them because they got sort of monotonous. I really did enjoy the articles. The Advisor was my favorite thing to read, followed by the music and movie reviews. The interviews were very good. I remember reading the one where Jimmy Carter admitted "undressing women in his mind" or whatever it was. I guess my favorite pictorial was the Jessica Hahn one. Since she was supposedly a religious person, I guess the "forbidden fruit" angle attracted me. (Plus she WAS gorgeous.) Haven't looked at an issue in years, but I'm sure it's still a quality mag if you like that sort of mag. It sure beats the hell out of Hustler. I always felt Playboy was classy, where Hustler just felt dirty.  |  IP: Logged
