Playboy 'readers' get 3-D centerfold in June issue
Source: Associated Press

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.

"This particular picture is one example of how books and magazines are different (than computer images)," he said. "You can hold it in your hands, save them, and as Dad used to, put them under the mattress."

So, do the glasses work? Well, it does kind of look like Dworaczyk is handing you the wine glass she's holding. And she says the photograph makes everything a little, well, bigger.

1. This would work better for Playgirl...
Things jumping off the page just seems better suited to guys.

playboy doing this but not on the centerfold.

3. With respect to a centerfold handing you a glass of wine...
anything more than a mouthful is a waste.

6. I was a college freshman when the first Playboy edition came out. It was an instant hit.
From distant memory I recall the following toast to ladies:

Here's to you so sweet and good,
God made you I wish I could.

9. Haven't picked up a Playboy in decades
I guess free Internet porn is putting them out of business.

14. Hardly
They're doing just fine. Take away the naughty pictures and what is left? Great reporting and insightful articles from some of the finest writers around.

10. So realistic you can almost reach out and touch all that plastic.
Hef, you wanna increase circulation?

To start off with...NO MORE MODELS WITH FUCKING IMPLANTS!

13. Equally bad IMO...
is the creepily waxed and plasticized appearance that they impose on all of their models. I'm sure that some of these women are lovely people, but they make utterly lifeless mannequins on the page.


Or so I've heard...

15. Playboy long ago strayed from the 'girl next door' image
Jumped the shark about twenty years ago.
