CNBC Slips Personal Porn Agenda Into Conversation

By Bess Levin

Picture 1168.pngUnder the guise of discussing the woes faced by Playboy. Like we’re falling for that one. The spank rag is apparently considering printing fewer issues, and raising its cover price, on account of being faced with the issue of no one paying for porn– especially when it’s not live action– anymore. Bill Griffiths, claiming he has no idea how much a copy will set you back these days (right) casually wonders, “when was the last time anyone bought an issue of Playboy?” failing to disclose that the real reason he’d like to know is that your answers will determine whether or not the network goes with the previously planned “Bitches o’ CNBC” as a glossy or springs for the production costs to put this thing out on DVD. Do them a solid and answer honestly how you most frequently consume porn. Either way, you’re about to see a whole lot more Charlie Gasparino.

    Interesting… right now I’m enjoying Erin’s scoop neck blouse; very nice… and is it just me, or could I just spot Margaret Brennan’s nips in that powder blue, silk number?

    Like many other mags they give away subscriptions for fractions of the newsstand price with 1+yr committments. Not surprisingly that practice has come back to bite them all in the arse. Seriously, the only time you buy a mag at the newsstand is at the airport/train station, and even then that’s not even always the case.

    I signed up for twitter this morning. I gave 22 thousand people a blow by blow of my first bowel movement of the day. It was quite a moving experience.

    Upon Hugh Heffner’s demise, will Playboy cease to be?
    One can only hope…then, down on their luck movie starlettes and tv has-bimbos will have no choice but to go redtube or pornhub.

    The strategy of CBC is to get its chicks all all media channels show as much cleavage as possible and then connect it to an ad for e-harmony

    I don’t understand who would buy a Playboy magazine. When has Playboy ever been….”good” ?

    Until 1964 it was hot and subversive. After that it seemed quaint and boring. The content didn’t change, the rest of the world did.

    These days, when you ad in the cost of one Viagra pill at $6.00 plus the cost of the Playboy mag, whippin’ your skeeter gets expensive for most CEOs.
    Agree that the best Playboy centerfolds were the late 60′s and early 70′s…

    I’d pay a lot for the Margaret Brennan-Erin Burnett girl-on-girl pullout.

    They could save money by reducing the size of the mag so it would easily balance and be easy to view by using just one hand. Just a suggestion.
