Remember when it used to be a hilarious joke to say, “Oh, I just get Playboy for the articles!”?  Everyone would laugh and laugh because NO YOU DIDN’T, YOU WERE LOOKING AT THE BOOBIES, YOU JOKESTER! Remember that? What innocent times.

Nowadays, I think if someone said that, it would probably be fairly true. With the plethora (and I mean plethora) of free porn sites widely available featuring just about every fetish known to man, illegal or not, there is really no reason to drop the cash annually just to get a big, unwieldy magazine delivered to your house that a) makes your neighbor think you’re a perv, and b) ends up collecting dust (and other substances) in your bathroom. Unless of course, you legitimately like the articles, which are usually unavailable online. I’m the first to admit that Playboy has got a good set of writers and they get some pretty revealing (ha! puns!) articles in there sometimes.

Well, stack of sticky magazines be gone – Playboy is finally releasing an iPad app. Like the New York Times and Rolling Stone before it, we can finally enjoy the convenience and ease of having every Playboy magazine ever, in order, at our fingertips, without having a creepy collection under our mattress. And all this for fre- um. Eight bucks a month.

EIGHT BUCKS A MONTH?! NETFLIX PRICES?!!!

Huh. I think we’ll pass.
