Playboy goes nude-free

By Mona Goldwater, Social Mores Ed.

The New York Times has an article today about Playboy going nudity free.  The end of an era, in which like many other businesses, it becomes hard to compete with the internet's offerings.  As of March 2016, Playboy become just the articles that so many people swore they bought the magazine to read.

Larry King wants Ex-Governor Palin to pose nude (with video)

By Pablo Fanque
All This Is That National Affairs Editor

Not happy with the number of stories about his current marital troubles (namely his 7th marriage going up in smoke amid accusations he has been having sex with his wife's sister), Larry King decided to toss a little gasoline on the fire.

On King's CNN show last Tuesday, Sarah Silverman wondered whether Sarah Palin should pose for Playboy. Silverman said "I think she should go for it" and King responded, "Agreed."

This, of course, triggered a new wave of vituperation and anger at King.  Laura Ingraham said, "Larry, when you're in a hole, stop digging."   "Larry should pose for 'Viagra Monthly'," said Ann Coulter.

One commenter on Politico.com wrote "Larry King should pose naked. We could all use a good LAUGH!!!"

The pertinent clip from his show is here:

Our Lady of Guadalupe: Stark Naked!--> Playboy gets Mother Mary to pose naked for their cover

A smoldering version of The Virgin of Guadalupe appears on the cover of the Mexican version of Playboy that hit the stands last Thursday. Playboy Mexico’s editor Gabriel Bauducco decided to put a nude Virgin Mary on its cover, and the Mexican newspaper El Diario reported that the magazine has already sold over 80 thousand copies.

The magazine features a model--Maria Florencia Onori--naked except for a white cloth over her head. A banner , “Te adoramos, Maria,” (We adore you, Mary) appears on the cover, as well.

In one of the pictures, the model seems to be posing next to a church. Playboy sources said that photographer David Eisenberg’s intentions were not to make the model look like Virgin Mary. Nyuk, nyuk. On the other hand, the magazine was purposely timed to be released before the Virgin of Guadalupe Day, a Mexican holiday based upon the Virgin's appearance before a Mexican child on December 12, 1951. ---o0o---
