My kids have entirely ruined ‘Playboy” magazine for me.
One of the breakout moments of my life was when I started getting ‘Playboy’ sent to the house when I was a teenager. Wow! How cool!! Mom HATED it and Dad told me to read them in my room, but it was COOL! Granted, the women were OLDER than me at that point, but woohoo, I was the only kid on the block – probably in the city - getting the ‘Playboy’ delivered to the house. Of course, I was getting it for the articles (wink, wink) like every other red-blooded American guy does, but the women were a GREAT distraction between articles.
Well, the years have gone by and I had to cancel my subscription to ‘Playboy.’ I HAD to give it up… WHEN did Hef start hiring BABIES to be the foldouts?? OH MY GOD!! Granted, the women I looked at when I was a kid and thought they were SOOO hot are now grandmothers in their 60s, but what happened?? Now I see the women in the magazine and I feel like I should be looking over my shoulder for one of those camera crews to come arrest me for looking at KIDS!!!
I blame it ENTIRELY on MY kids. They are now older than the models in the magazine and that makes me feel like I need a shower! When my kids and their friends ran around in skimpy clothes I sent them off to put on more clothes. I think that’s when I knew it was time for ‘Playboy’ to go. When I was THEIR age – my kids and their friends – I was looking for the girls to take it off!! Now time has passed me by and I’m telling the kids to go put clothes ON!! Sorry, Hef… You know I love you, but… you need to start a magazine with WOMEN in it, not kids. Forty and up ONLY!!! There’s a market for it out here. As a large percentage of the population moves into our… second half… we need to have REAL women to look at that are not going to get us arrested! Or make us FEEL like we’re going to be arrested. So, another of the icons of my youth has fallen by the wayside. What is the world coming to???
