And where are the damn bird videos!

Just sad. And that unfortunate teenage girl on the end of the couch blowing her bubble gum bubbles and probably thinking that these are role models.
Beeper King @ April 18th, 2008 at 4:28 pm

I’m really not sure what is sadder, those girls leching off Hef, or Hef living with three stripper whores. Guess they deserve each other.

So when do the Women of The Burn get photos of some hot men on here????

Turn about, fair play….

Deeply depressing video. Thank you for posting it. The world is going to hell and this is a glittering example of why. It used to be that any kind of naked photos was the kiss of death to a girl hoping to make it as a legimate actress or model. Now it’s the doorway to great things.

We suck. We have no morals anymore. Next thing you know teaching girls how to do well on the casting couch will become a college course for acting and journalism degrees.

Awe, I wouldn’t be so hard on “the world” for an American Nudie Magazine…maybe for a Russian or Bulgarian one, though (I kid, I kid).

Oh please, get over being so prude–you’re not the one being asked to take your clothes off, “Dave Thomas.” People can do what they want to do with themselves. Sex sells, it always had, and I would bet that it always will.

I don’t think anyone in the video expressed taking off their clothes for money and attention as the doorway to great things….just look at Amber Campisi. Aside from Playboy, the Campisi’s claim to fame was through a reality TV show–at least appearing on one. Forget what it was called, but it was a hot, sloppy drunk mess (but I’m sure it was just edited to look that way…). And then their restaurants–the new one on Lovers really speaks for itself (bravo to the Campisi family on that).

well all the little girls Texas is holding from the FLDS raid might just grow up and be playmates since they have been “ruined” living in the compound.

I love the gum chewer. She looks really smart. I hope she is registered to vote.

You didn’t seem to watch the video since the girl from Playboy says it can open a lot of doors.

And no, I’m not the one being asked to take off my clothes. I’m the one being asked by Playboy and (apparently) D Magazine to look at these women in a purely sexual way. It’s society saying that brains don’t matter, looks do. That’s awful. I can’t believe there’s not more outrage over this. Rather than cutely showing a video of this horrific event - complete with dance music - D should do some real journalism on this and see how it’s really effected the lives of local women who posed nude. Trust me, it wouldn’t be a happy story.

People should be free to do what they want. If they want to pose naked in a magazine, that their business. I’m free to express my opinion that such activity is wrong and immoral. You can choose to believe what you want. I suspect you won’t be telling your own daughter to go try out for this magazine.
C.R. @ April 20th, 2008 at 11:45 pm

If you’re so outraged by it, why subject yourself to viewing a video? You could have done something else with your time.

But “Playboy” does include information about the girls that isn’t purely sexual–their hobbies, little bios etc etc. So, it’s not really asking it’s readers to look at these women in a purely sexual way. It’s asking its readers to look at them as real girls–unsually idealized images as they are.

We all aren’t outraged because, hey, it is what it is. And we’re so desensitized because of all the truly heinous **** going on in the world that “Playboy Magazine” really seems low on the list of “Things That Will Take This Nation To Hell In A Hand Basket.” I mean, if you wanna spend your energy hating on a simple nudie mag, I think you have too much free time and energy.

This is a blog. It was newsworthy that Playboy was coming to town. I don’t think anyone got hurt–no one was mortally wounded by a land mine in what looked like a posh hotel suite. No one in that room lost limbs, or gave their life for an unworthy cause. So, really, was it so bad?

I mean, if I ever have a daughter, she will have a mind of her own and will be free to do what she wants. She wants to smoke? Ok, but she’s gonna have to get a job to pay for the cigs on her own. She wants to take off her clothes for the enjoyment of men in a magazine? At least she’s getting paid decently well. Not like it’s gonna be the family Christmas Card photo, but it will be her life to do with what she pleases (so long as it does not harm others).

Is your name really Dave Thomas? Because the only Dave Thomas I knew died…but he did make a mean frosty. Hey, he had a daughter too! And he used her image to sell burgers! Wait a minute, were you exploiting your daughter for profit margins, Mr. Thomas?
