There was some pretty good content in there. Some of the interviews were truly exceptional, as were some of the articles and stories. I have to agree with Coelcanth.

Honest. Back in the early years of Playboy they were paying twice the per word rate for fiction than any other magazine. Ginsberg was a contributor, Kerouac often wrote for them and Shel Silverstein did many comics. Yup, naked flesh sold the magazines but some of that profit was funneled back into getting great writers.

Especially male type people, bless them. Ask any zookeeper. you don't have to impress your mommy and your friends...... you have to impress yourself. you don't have to be beautiful, you have to make people THINK you are, and, you have to live as if you WERE.

old technology

artificial scarcity wins every time.

people don’t value what they don’t have to pay for, and work for. Especially male type people, bless them. Ask any zookeeper.

you don’t have to impress your mommy and your friends…… you have to impress yourself.

you don’t have to be beautiful, you have to make people THINK you are, and, you have to live as if you WERE. It’s how you carry yourself.

There were many other enumerations before and after his work. However, in complete contradiction of myself: The gematria of תורה (Torah)is 611. But if we remember, when Moses transmited the Torah to us, two commandments came directly from HaShem. So, adding those, you come up with 613. So, I guess, technically, it is gematria. Ok, this had absolutely nothing to do with the article. I just didn't have anything useful to say about Playmates. 613 mitzvot is not gematria (I don’t think) as Maimonides compiled the list, its not exactly laid out in Torah like that.

But I won't do that. You guys probably know that those pictures are fantasy art and not anywhere near realism, and that by their being portrayed as real they cast in men the idea of ideal human form and women in turn feel societal pressure to conform to this ideal which is both almost always unattainable and completely superficial, thus creating a society obessesed with outward appearance. So there's no need for me to lecture, since you already know all that.
