NBC’s new upcoming show “The Playboy Club” will debut on TV sometime in Sept. I’m interested in seeing it and I will probably watch the first episode. The show is creating a lot of controversy in the news lately. Of course, all these activist groups are trying to get NBC to not air the show. The Parents Television Council wants it off the air, and so does Morality In Media. Gloria Steinem wants everyone to boycott the show just like her, she went undercover as a bunny for the real life Club.
Why is everyone going after NBC? Because this is Playboy we’re talking about here. I mean, it’s not like this show is going to have full nudity or anything. Nudity and porn is banned off NBC which is a family friendly TV station. Why did NBC allow the show to get aired later this Fall? Probably because the show is clean enough and not as dirty and sexual everyone thinks it is. Yes, the women will show legs and cleavage of course, but that’s about it. Nothing wrong with that, right? Plus, this is just a fictional soap opera even though it was inspired by the real thing.
Playboy gets attacked for everything they do because people wrongly think they are adult porn. Not really. They are an entertainment magazine for men. There is a big difference between nude modeling and porn. Think about it.
I think NBC deserves to air this show because us men need our soap opera fix, right? I mean, we get daytime soap operas for women during the day. How come these activist groups don’t attack the Daytime soap operas when there is plenty of sex in those? Oh that’s right, because they have nothing to do with fucking Playboy. “The Playboy Club” looks to be a show that is aimed for men only. I’m all for watching it and giving it a try. See what the show is like.
I’m siding with NBC on this one.

It exploits women? LMAO! They CHOOSE to be exploited! No one twists their arm to pose for the magazine, nor do you HAVE to work in the Playboy Club. There are other options out there. However, most people are so shallow that they figure, “Well…I’ll let myself be used and abused if I get paid well.” All they care about is the money…NOT if they’re playing up to gender stereotypes. PS: I said it before and I will say it again: the most ironic thing about feminism is that Gloria Steinem (back in her day) was hot, and I don’t know any heterosexual male who wouldn’t want to hit that!
I don’t see how Playboy or any adult magazine exploits women. That’s just an opinion. I believe that if women have the body they have the power to show it off to the world as they please. If women have the body, show off what you got, right? Men need their eye candy. Women want to make a living for nude modeling because they enjoy it. I don’t think it’s an ego or an attention seeking kind of thing.
My point of this blog post is that the only reason, “The Playboy Club” is being attacked is because people don’t want Playboy on an NBC family friendly station, period.

Kev,
That’s basically what I am saying, man. To call Playboy “sex slavery” is a bit ridiculous. Say the word “slave” to anyone and it will certainly NOT conjure up the image of your average Playboy Bunny!!!
