After sixty plus years Playboy has announced a "cover up" - no more nudity! At its peak in the 1970s it sold seven million copies. Its influence then was such that a judge once ruled that denying blind people a braille version violated their first amendment rights. Its inaugural copy in 1953 was undated as they weren't sure there would be a second edition. Gloria Steinem once went under cover as a "bunny" so as to write an expose later. Avid readers have been assured that "Playboy will continue its tradition of investigative journalism, in-depth interviews, etc...." Well, that's a relief!

Makes sense. With all nudity and porno available free on Internet, Playboy's major sales feature is worthless.
