Playboy in 3-D!
AP Exclusive: Playboy `readers' get 3-D centerfold
By DON BABWIN (AP) – 1 hour ago
CHICAGO — Playboy readers who can only imagine what it would look like if a centerfold jumped right off the page are getting new specs to help them see into Hef's world.
The magazine's June edition hits newsstands Friday equipped with 3-D glasses. Now the toy that has kids dodging dragons, meatballs and tall blue aliens at the movies will help adults focus on what is, at first glance, a very blurry Playmate of the Year.
"What would people most like to see in 3-D?" asked Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. "Probably a naked lady."
Hefner makes no secret of hoping to capitalize on the popularity of 3-D movies such as "Avatar" and "How to Train Your Dragon," even as he makes no secret of not quite getting what all the fuss is about.
"I'm not a huge enthusiast of 3-D," he said in a telephone interview. "I leave real life to go to the movies and 2-D is fine with me."
If the thought of grown men sitting back in their recliners with a pair of 3-D glasses doesn't quite say "Playboy," it should be noted that a few months ago the magazine put Marge Simpson — yes, the blue-haired animated mother of Bart — on the cover and in a two-page centerfold.
"In today's print environment you have to create newsstand events," said the editorial director of the Chicago-based magazine, Jimmy Jellinek. "Marge Simpson was one of those."
Playboy certainly must do something to get more people, especially younger people, to buy a magazine that has seen circulation plummet from 3.15 million in 2006 to 1.5 million today.
Jellinek said he hopes the issue featuring centerfold Hope Dworaczyk in 3-D also reminds people that for all the infatuation with the Internet, there is nothing quite like having a magazine in your hands.
I see some major paper cuts happening.
Jason Kidd may no longer be hoopin' it up in the playoffs, but if he's still taxing Hope Dworaczyk, he may be the biggest winner yet...
You're kidding.
1.5 million people don't know you can download it for free on the net?
You can download 3-d glasses on the net?
Bags of sand....
Haha, spot on
In a related bit of out-of-touchness, Playboy also announces they will be starting a "Safe For Work" website, so you can read their articles on the job.
This is sure to be a 2010 Finalist in the People Unclear On The Concept Awards.

lngrrrr with all the evidence we need. Mel Brooks had this concept a long time ago.
That is not it! The one in men in tights is really more like a picture of an actual girl that is "bronzed" and her body sticks out.
