Playboy for the Blind
BCU got some flak a couple months back for apparently misinforming the public about the book Tactile Mind — we called it porn, and the author shot back saying, “I have never referred to my work as pornographic,” and we cowered in You’ve-Been-Told shame. Luckily, Jezebel swooped in and saved the day with their post about Playboy for the Blind, which absolutely can not be construed as anything BUT porn for the blind.
Playboy has apparently been coming out with Braille versions of the magazine for years, and a company called Taping for the Blind also produces an all-audio version, where the narrator reads the articles aloud and describes the photos, in imagery-filled text like,
Behind her shoulder, down past her arm, you can see her breast peeking out. … There are no tan lines at all. She is not wearing any nail polish or jewelry or bathing suit or anything.
