All those guys who say they only read Playboy for the articles can now do so on their iPad, thanks to the adult magazine’s new boob-less app.
Playboy agreed to censor its content in order to secure a place in the App Store, where any software that Apple considers “obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory†is banned.
Many iPad users have expressed frustration at the self-censorship because (aside from the addition of a 30-second interview clip), the app is basically a digital version of the print magazine, but without the nudity.
Displeased by the lack of dynamic content, a review of the app by MinOnline points out: “The problem for Playboy is that the missing pieces are so obvious because they are so well known.â€
The Playmate of the Month, one of the magazine’s most popular photo features, will only appear on the iPad only as a tasteful headshot.
No matter how rich the journalist content of Playboy may be, $4.99 seems a bit much to pay when some of the breast best features of the magazine are missing.
Who says print media is dead?
