In Defense of NBC’s “The Playboy Club”…

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.
