Playboy Launches Safe For Work Website

Posted by samzenpus on from the porn-now-without-nudity dept.

If you're one of the three people in the world who actually reads Playboy for the articles, today is your lucky day. Every young boy's favorite magazine to find in their uncle's closet has launched a "safe for work" website. From the article: "TheSmokingJacket.com will contain none of the nudity that makes Playboy.com NSFW — not suitable for work. Instead, it'll rely on humor to reach Playboy's target audience, men 25 to 34 years old, when they are most likely to be in front of a computer screen."

      I read Playboy for the LACK of articles (of clothing).

      I always thought Playboy's target audience was housewives who want to look progressive by buying it for their husbands, and their 12-14 year old sons who steal it from the mailbox every month. I don't know where this "24-34 year old men" nonsense is coming from.

      I can't comment on this article because I want to run for the Legislature someday.

      No really I have no idea what Playboy is. But if you're looking for some good articles, subscribe to Asimov's Science Fiction. That's what I switched too after..... well.... just after.

      Playboy was the place I first read Nabokov, Cheever and many great modern authors too numerous to mention. Playboy was always about great articles. The titties were just icing on the cake.

      Between Playboy and Evergreen Press, I got a great education in modern literature. On the downside, I was sixteen before I knew women had pubic hair and that not all nipples point toward heaven. And it came as quite a shock, let me tell you. I still have not completely recovered.

    So they know as much about technology as they do about what makes women attractive. (The Playboy answer: tattoos, a shaved gash, breast implants and lots and lots of Photoshopping)

    Ya...I love a woman with lots of practice photoshopping too. Graphic artists rock my world!
