You might have fond memories of finding your grandfather’s stash of Playboy’s hidden beneath his bedpan and excitedly tearing into them to get to that sweet, sweet, Gore Vidal interview. And maybe while you were at it you snuck a little peek at the pics sprinkled throughout the mag. Well folks, we have some bad news for you about the next time you find a copy of Playboy at a bus station, or if it’s accidentally delivered to your mailbox, or if you’re a prisoner in federal prison and this was your one permitted outlet to see images of women—because starting in January 2016, the whole magazine is going to consist of only Hi-Fi stereo ads and cologne recommendations!
Yes, Playboy is phasing out their nude pictures of beautiful ladies. But don’t worry, they’re going out with a bang: the magazine run by a hundred-year-old sex-monster, Hugh Hefner, will be featuring sex-monster Pamela Anderson as their last nude spread. Miss Anderson will be baring it all at 48 years of age.
In honor of the poor Photoshop techs who will have to work overtime to make Pamela look like the stereotypical 19-year-old Playboy model, we’re taking a look back at few other of Playboy’s worst decisions. Feast your eyes on some of the worst covers PB’s ever featured. Maybe they should have made this decision earlier?
Latoya Jackson
Thanks to her artificially bleached skin, terrible plastic surgery, and freaky resemblance to her brother Michael, Latoya Jackson’s 1989 Playboy pictorial destroyed the sex drives of an entire generation.
Tara Reid
Tara Reid posed for Playboy about ten years after having any popularity, celebrity, or beauty left. By the time she appeared in the magazine her decade of hard partying and back alley grade cosmetic surgery left Tara Reid looking like E.T. trying to have eye-sex with the camera.
Faye Resnick
No, Playboy wasn’t making a progressive social statement by bravely showing off a burn victim on the road to recovery; Faye Resnick paid big money to look that way. This LA socialite shot to “fame” for testifying against O.J. Simpson back in the ‘90s and got snapped up to model for Playboy for some reason.
Chyna
WWF…more like WTF! Am I right? We don’t need to explain ourselves anymore than that. The wrestling superstar stripped down for Playboy in 2000 to universal horror….they had her back again in 2002.
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton appeared in Playboy in 2005. Now It’s 2015: Do I really need to make a Paris Hilton joke? Leave us your own in the comments section of this article.
While it’s a strange move for the magazine known mostly for their centrefolds, a look at this list makes us wonder if they should have folded their pages sooner.
