THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, like we did not know. What was legend eventually becomes nothing more than afterthought and laughter. Especially when you allow pigs to pose nude. This is what Playboy CEO said. ”Playboy could shrink by half in a year, we could cut our headcount by 573 employees by half as partners take over its existing operations.” Why must all good things come to an end?
To be honest I am learning a lot from their demise. Hefner never chose an apprentice… no Luke Skywalker to save the empire. He wanted the ship to sink with him. Selfish play by a selfless man.- nik
Johnny Rotten says:
Hefner has nothing to do with the demise.
It’s the Internet, the same thing that has killed newspapers and much other media.
Why pay for a magazine when you can get it on the Net in a second in your home and free?
to Johnny RottenCandyMan says:
I disagree and am with Nik. There’s still room magazine like Playboy. And Nik’s right – just needed a younger, sharper leader to shape the direction – not an old fossil still trying to live an 16 yr old’s fantasy. Hef got old but was too arrogant to pass on the reigns. Now he’s a cartoon character – going from blonde to blonde gold digger/attention whore. Sad.
to CandyManman chicago says:
Hef is a joke! look at him and his blond bimbos. The most insecure ugly old man with terrible taste. Most of his girlfriends are bunch of white trash , and im not talking about internet playboy …he’ll take whoever is willing to get naked, its disgusting. No wonder its going down. he thinks he is a player w 3 heart attacks lmao
to man chicagozeee.. says:
haha i agree this Hef is a complete joke , he might have some mental problems. His one foot in grave and he still thinks he is a playboy ! looks stupid to me, he s just getting used and abused by every chick . at the end of the day no one cares about him . pretty sad
to zeee..Aj says:
playboy has always been a sham, Hef is a photo shop master!
to AjStan says:
really Nik, you’re “learning a lot” from his demise. please. don’t embarrass yourself further.
to Stanbullz-eye says:
‘Selfish play by a selfless man’
I’m trying to make sense of that.
Did you mean ‘selfish’ man, or were you saying this was a rare selfish act from a normally selfless man?
Because the definition of selfless is: having little or no concern for oneself, esp. with regard to fame, position, money, etc.; unselfish.
to bullz-eyelol! says:
i think Nic was trying to bust in a fancy line without realizing that it doesn’t make any scene, whats your point nic?
to lol!ELVis says:
I don’t think Playboy has been relevant with men for 25 years. Of course. some wannabe chicks can’t resist pretending to be bunnies.
to ELVisBrandon says:
Sure he did his Daughter has run it for years, Run it into the ground I would say but nonetheless she took over years ago.
to BrandonHe`s old as dirt now anyways take the money and bang whatever comes you way Hef
I would go on the Old as Dirt Tour and see how disgusting I can get girls to be by doing me…lol
insider says:
Actually, Playboy is being sold for almost half a billion dollars. They are going to change their approach on advertising and content. It’s definitely hard to compete with free porn sites that will show just about anything imaginable.
to insiderBut tasteful beautiful women will never go out of style, hopefully the new management will give Playboy as we know it a turn around.
interesting says:
Who is the buyer?
to interestingBritt says:
Nik, why dont you buy playboy? If anyone could bring Playboy back to life it would be you!! You could actually find good playmates!!
to BrittCK says:
Because buying Playboy would cost more than the 9 bucks cash and 5 dollar food stamp Nik has to his name
to CKYourSister'sBalls says:
Why don’t you just blow him Britt?
to YourSister'sBallsyerp says:
nik never thought of it that way but so true. he should have found an apprentice
to yerpAnonymous says:
no ‘apprentice’ would save anything … he handed the reigns over to his more business-savy daughter and if that doesn’t work they’re all screwed. nik comparing a website to a old skool rag is apples and oranges
to Anonymousnotice how his two retarded sons are shut out of the deal
let’s face it playboy just got lucky – right place/right time starting with the marylin monroe pic he BOUGHT to displaying ‘girl next door’ types i.e. the type nik picks apart/rejects (just basically any girl hef wanted to f*ck)
cantremember says:
nik…you were the one that said that playboy should die with hef you just contradicted yourself
to cantremember20K-MILLIONAIRE says:
yeah true its cutting down on expences.. but it has finally made a profit in the last quater..
to 20K-MILLIONAIREGrime Dawg says:
Nik, so who is your apprentice? JV?
to Grime Dawgwidebuffalo says:
The “selfless” thing caught my attention. Really? I have seen old copies of “Playboy” from its heyday with photos of some of the first parties at the Playboy Mansions. (Plural intended.) The guests looked like a bunch of moochers, and Hef looked disgustingly arrogant. I sincerely doubt he has changed.
But, I think the legend will evolve into myth. Once upon a time in the America of the 1960′s there was an enterprise known as “Playboy.”
to widebuffalonunh says:
Hef was the man
to nunhAnonymous says:
they’re f*cked if his more business-savy daughter couldn’t save playboy then no ‘apprentice’ could
to Anonymousplayboy got lucky being in the right place at the right time with the marylin monroe pic he BOUGHT to the novel idea of using ‘girl next door’ types i.e. basically any girl hef wanted to fuck/the kind nik picks apart and rejects
Realbee says:
Nik would be the LAST person to run PB. All the chicks would weigh 80lbs, have 800cc’s in each breast and would have giant plumped lips and wear colored contact lenses and spray themselves silly with fake bake. They would all be as fake as fake gets. Why not search for NATURAL BEAUTIES? I see them out and about in Newport and Laguna all day long!
