When I'm wrong I'll admit it!!!

A bit off-topic, but I just wanted to echo one of the points you made D_G about Vesuvius. I've always pretty much found him to be a valuable poster here, even though we seldom agree on much when it comes to bonuses and the like. But he's entitled to his opinions as well, and I find that he presents them in a civil and intelligent manner, and I have no problems with that at all. If only more could understand that....

Now more on-topic...you mentioned Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler. I would tend to agree with you that Playboy leans more toward the artistic side of "soft porn". Even the other two, I've never had a problem with....except for the one "meat-grinder" edition of Hustler. I didn't care for that too much. But I thought some of the Falwell stuff that Flynt published was hilarious. Larry Flynt's my hero actually, lol. You don't have to admire what he does...but damn, I admire his conviction and tenacity to stand up for his right to do it.

I would kinda consider it distracting if I was to play a game which one wants to play with good strategy, like BJ.

Like I said, I have never seen it, but I doubt it's real porn. Everyone has a choice, go there or don't.

I agree with what dominique said. And I dont believe playboy is porn either. Everything playboy stands for is done with a degree of class. My mom was a member of the playboy club (years ago) and everything I know about playboy is done in good taste. That's why Hugh has done so well, I believe. All in all, not porn and a very distinguished gentlemens club!

p.s. I dont believe Hef would of been able to wordly market his label in so many different ways if he were pornographic. I believe his success is based on the fact that he operates with class and dignity. Has anyone watched the girls next door? One example is where he is overlooking some pics, taken of his girls, exact pic but one done in a softer cleaner look, and so he picks the latter. He wants his business to come across as classy and to say otherwise would completely disregard everything he has worked for. That would be a shame.

Even if you find playboy pornographic (I don't), I definitely agree that making a post lambasting them in a forum with no heads up is nothing short of blas� moral posturing.

I can't really see how one can object to Playboy's nudity, and not online gambling, seems like a case of situational ethics.

Finally, lest we forget, online gambling is an activity for adults anyway. Teenagers are going to find the content on playboygaming.com very tame compared to almost any other site they can access with zero age verification measures. When I was fifteen, I had never placed a bet anywhere, but I sure as hell had seen my fair share of porn.

this thread has piqued my interest in the distinction between classy titillation and porn. i don't yet feel qualified to state an opinion on this matter. yes, much more personal research is absolutely in order!

And lest we forget, Playboy has been involved in the entertainment industry since the 1960s with its world-wide Playboy clubs and Playboy casinos in the UK.
