Playmate Photo From Apollo 12 Up For Auction
Kilrah_il writes "When the Apollo 12 crew left Earth for a trip to the Moon, they did not know that the ground crew hid a surprise in one of the command module lockers: a calendar photo of Playboy Playmate DeDe Lind. Now this card is offered for auction, after being kept in the personal collection of command module pilot Richard Gordon, who added the following memo: 'This is to certify that the accompanying 4.5" x 6.25" cue card did, indeed, accompany me on my trip to the moon in the Command Module Yankee Clipper aboard the historic Apollo 12 lunar landing mission. This cue card, which flew with me to the moon, has been in my sole possession and part of my personal space collection since my return from the moon in 1969 aboard America's second lunar landing mission, and it remains one of the all-time greatest Apollo era astronaut "Gotcha's!"' For those interested, the minimum bid is $1000." Warning, contains pixelated nudity.
To the younger generations who are easily corrupted by things like the hot coffee mod, pixelated nudity is even more dangerous than clear unfiltered nudity.

nobody can hear you fap!
"Houston, I'm sending both of the other Astronauts out for a spacewalk. I found this Playmate photo here, and need some private time to have a wank. Ha! All you 'mile high club' folks can kiss my hairy ass. I'm halfway to the moon and having 'one off the wrist'! Beat that!"

Does that include people who are offended by other peoples morals?
Another notable Playboy pinup is Nov. 1972's Lena Söderberg whos image has been used in an example in image processing papers since 1973.
Being offended is a quick and easy power trip: it's a way to control other people.
"Oh I'm offended by your actions! And because I'm offended, YOU are the one that has to change their behavior! Because I can't be troubled to: turn off the TV, radio, computer; change channels or web page; not buy the book; etc.. And no, I am unable to monitor my children therefore; everyone else has to change their behavior just so my children don't see or hear anything that I may find offensive."

Well, there's more of them to choose from.
And women's standards for acceptable conduct have changed, so more of them consider standing in front of a camera for money an acceptable practice.
And technology for manipulating their looks, in makeup and exercise physiology and software, has improved.
And photographers have learned from decades of research by the pioneers of Playboy how to make someone look better than they generally do.
And women have learned from the same sources what men really like them to look like.
It's unlikely that the median or average have changed much. But the selection, presentation, and manipulation are much more refined.
As an example of presentation and manipulation, but not so much selection, I give you Katy Perry. With and without her cloaking device turned on.
As a professional care-troll, your lack of commitment to care-trolling offends me. Do you really expect anyone reading this pathetic attempt at trolling to believe you actually care about this issue? You, sir, bring disrepute upon the house of troll.

They are photoshopped to remove blemishes, expand breasts, erase fat knees, give them flatter butts, and so on.
Give... them... FLATTER butts? Flatter butts, really, that's what men want today, girls who look like prepubescent boys? Sorry, I'm with Sir Mix-a-Lot on this one.

Playboy's golden age was in the 70s. Those women were usually stunning with or without the paint and airbrushing.
In the 90s something happened and the publishers started using less attractive women with a lot of cosmetic surgery and makeup applied, and manipulating them more.
Now, who reads Playboy any more? There's boobs in half the pages on the web, xkcd does the funny, rotten tomatoes handles the movies, and if you want to hear from Hef you can tweet him.
Oh, toddle off. As a member of the moral community, I can definitively say that the vast majority of us have no interesting in micromanaging your life.
Could you do us all a favour then and tell your "minority" to STFU? When you let them do all the talking, they'll naturally come to represent both them and you.
Getting back on topic, this story is more than a little disconcerting. I was raised to believe that the Moon landings represented the pinnacle of American gumption, values, and achievement. And now, all of these years later, we discover that this seminal event was corrupted by the presence of hardcore pornography. Maybe I shouldn't act surprised, but I always thought that the NASA astronauts were better people than that.
Read The Right Stuff. They weren't better men, they were adventurous men. Your mistake.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
He was alone in lunar orbit for more than a full day while Conrad and Bean landed on the moon. If he took advantage of his solitude to "rub one out", he probably would have done so while on the far side of the moon, where his biomed telemetry couldn't be monitored by Houston. :)
His crewmates also had some porn stashed with them on the moon. Playboy images were inserted into the lunar surface checklists used during the moonwalks.

I thought the Bush era was 1988-1992 and then smaller Bush in 2000-2008.

Have you seen wonens jeans? they make their asses look like guy ass.
Nothing is more pleasurable than a woman with a shapely ass where the jeans cut in to show off each cheek. Jeans that bridge the butt crack are a crime.

Think about it ... you're talking about a person who has been brainwashed to be offended by ::gasp:: nakedness! Hell, they'd be offended if there was a Sears catalog on the mission without the underware section removed.
You expect them to know what "hardcore porn" is?.
Actually, anthropological studies show that men all over the world prefer a woman with a certain hip to waist ratio. The actual size of the woman is much less important than the fact that she has big hips relative to her waist. Culturally speaking, we may despise "fat" women and find them less desirable based on what others might think of them, but as long as she has a good hip to waist ratio, our cocks couldn't care less how fat she is.

Hardcore? It's a topless pic.
No sir I dont like it.
And replace any apollo era astronauts or ride along with any of them it would be the crew of Apollo 12. They had fun, a LOT of fun on that mission and swore and cussed a lot too.

You are not alone. 1966 through 1973 was a magical time. The sexual revolution was in full swing but the style was still natural, innocent and unconsciously sexual. There hasn't been anything like it since.

Mid sixties to mid seventies. Around about 1977 is when the centerfolds started becoming overproduced, with unnatural poses in unnatural colors. The unnatural bodies came a little later.
> In the 90s something happened and the publishers started using less attractive women with a lot of cosmetic surgery and makeup applied, and manipulating them more.
Yes. Besides that, the magazine itself was starting to deteriorate. Production values got cheaper, photos weren't registered correctly, print bled through the page from the other side. There was only the occasional striking photo, usually ruined in the print process. Having a nearly unbroken collection from 1954, (due to years of haunting old book stores) I finally got fed up and canceled my subscription in 1998.
Besides, it's all online now anyway. I sold my entire collection two years ago, never looked back. I only kept perhaps four or five issues, one of which, oddly enough, was August 1967, Dee Dee Lind.

I can't find the original message, so must reply to a reply. I finally got access to the actual image and... Hardcore? Really? Really?? You can see as much on Miami beach these days. I suspect that the author either hasn't seen the image and is guessing at the content, or has a definition of "hardcore" that would include Vanity Fair, Elle and Shape.

Personally, I like real women, warts and... no, on second thought, I can do without the warts.
Nipples too pointy, TRIM IN HALF?!? No, no, no, just... no. Do not trim the nipples in half, please. I mean, they aren't, like, two inches long or an anything, right? Because, okay, if her nipples reach down to her waist, yeah, maybe trim those suckers.

No, that was just 1,000,000 geeks all trying to place a bid at the same time.

Uh, have you actually seen the size of those apollo modules? You'd be lucky if you managed to jerk off without elbowing your buddy in the face.
If you have to ask to see someone's chromosones to be sure they're female, does it really matter?
