The news from Los Angeles and Chicago is quite grim concerning the future of Playboy Enterprises and the 55 year old publication of Playboy magazine. The publication has fallen out of step with changes in technology and the utter gritty transformation in mindsets and attitudes of young males ages 30 and under. This obviously targeted demographic is now one that favors violence, deviance, crudeness, and humiliating acts and behavior as compared to ones in past generations. Playboy has kept more to a style and approach that is more in tune with values and attitudes in the 1980s and earlier. Declining numbers in circulation as well as in advertiser pages in the publication appear to forebode the end of this great American institution, one of which I have been aware of and enjoyed for about 35 years.http://www.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idUSTRE51H5U420090218?rpc=77
