Playboy Plans 'Radical Changes' to Print Model ... including price increases, a frequency reduction and lowering its rate base of 2.6 million. The company said it would combine Playboy's July and August issues into a double issue. (reproduction of Playboy cover, but otherwise SFW) Just what they need to compete with the millions of free porn images on the Internet... a price increase!

I gathered most people weren't purchasing it for the porn, but rather for its literary content. (I could be mistaken). :P

"Playboy eliminates 80 positions"
Hmm. Must have something to do with age.
