Playboy Philippines already out, But boobies stay in
April 16, 2008I guess everyone (or every straight guy) knows about it by now that Playboy Philippines has been launched. I’m sure it got a lot of Pinoy men pumped and I for one will admit that it got me interested. That’s because this means that we are going to see local beauties like we’ve never seen before… right? Well, not exactly. There’s a catch. Beting Laygo Dolor, Playboy Phiippines’ Editor-in-chief said that the our version of the racy magazine will NOT show full frontal nudity. (enter trumpet blows here).
Wait… let me think this through for a minute. So this means that we are only getting another "FHM" or "Maxim" like mags on the shelves in the Philippines? or perhaps we might consider FHM more aggressive. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I’m going to hit the streets and rally for my right to see some naked women. What i’m saying is I don’t see how Playboy came up with this idea. Haven’t they done any research on the current Philippine Pop Culture? Our society has been tolerant enough to accept GP ratings for comedy movies that has very suggestive themes, to allow tabloids to be displayed on sidewalks with pictures of scantily clad women on the cover and don’t even get me started with our primetime television shows. I always thought that Wowowee might as well have the tagline "Almost Porn" on their title screen. At least they’d be honest on what really is their top selling point. I mean, who are we kidding? We are so westernized that we might as well call this country the "United Islands of America".
So what I want to see now is for how long are they going to keep this catch up until they realize that they are not giving anything new to their Filipino target market. I hear that they are planning to make-up for the lack of nudity with some good writing, Huh? So what?… You’re just going to write a very good description of how the model’s naked body looks like??

new chismis about Playboy. The Hef heard & saw that it was so bad… he had all the issues pulled out.
anybody out there who can confirm this?

Priscilla hated the original “Black Mamba Team” that did the photography. it was just a bunch of “feeling-photographer-fellows” who thought that they were good enough to do a magazine shoot.
But they were idiots and Priscilla was super disappointed. she specifically fixed up the famous SECOND SHOOT (on her own! go girl!) with a better and competent and REAL team. she told the staff of Playboy Philippines not to use any of the shots from the first shoot. but lo and behold… they still used the cooking magazine cover option. She was really pissed but gave up.
Poor Priscilla.
Posted by as it falls at April 28, 2008, 3:54 pmPlayboy Philippines is much more than a BOO… it is a insult to the Playboy editions worldwide.
Dalisay and Yuson and the other Palanca award winners are excellent writers… excellent but boring. pretty much like their newpaper columns. there’s just no way that they can catch the attention of magazine readers. as i’ve mentioned in other blogs and sites… Beting has formed a dream team… for a NEWSPAPER! they are entering a genre which they cannot possibly comprehend. they are dependent on words… a magazine is not a newspaper… magazines depend heavily on visuals. which none of the editorial team of Playboy… and their useless Palanca writers have. you cannot teach a geriatric dog new tricks. Dolor, Yuson, Dalisay, and the rest are not even willing to embrace this. how can they possibly succeed?
And the publisher is more concerned about acquiring the Playboy Casino. he does not give a damn about the magazine. At least Gokongwei of Summit and Lopez of Abs-Cbn pub are conscious about the quality of their mags. Mr. Ku… just simply… doesn’t care. that’s why it’s ok for Playboy Philippines to look like crap… as long as he can hold on and wait for Playboy international to foolishly give him the casino franchise… he’s happy.
but you have to give it to the Playboy Philippines people. they are a hardy bunch. i guess for people like Krip Yuson… this is his last stab at fame and fortune. and for people like Beting Dolor… he’s just too old to do anything else. pretty much like their magazine… it is a desperate attempt.

The saddest part about it is probably those people got the job because they were able to pull powerful strings. As we all know, in any field, the Philippines’ public perception is so skewed up that people get famous for wrong reasons. The people behind Playboy Philippines might be a well “respected” bunch but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that they are indeed fishing with the wrong bait!
playboy will surely fail. I could attest to that. Sue me if you want but playboy magazine really sucks.

She was alluring as she opened her velvet roped, she raised her leg, showing of her soft, creamy thighs…her chest, heaving in pure arousal….her nipples….
