10 hilarious reactions to Playboy’s ‘no nudes’ announcement

EARLIER this month men (and women) all over the world woke up to some rather startling news; Playboy will be doing away with full nudity.

Under the guidance of senior vice president of digital marketing, Robin Zucker, Playboy relaunched its website with a “safe for work” strategy in 2014. Meaning Playboy.com now featured no nudity.

Contrary to popular belief, Playboy said it saw a 258% jump in unique visitors after the relaunch. Its web traffic increased from 4 million to 16 million unique users per month.

Following this lead, a ‘nude-free’ hard-copy edition might boost circulation, which has dropped to 800 000, from 5.6 million in 1975.

Whether or not this will succeed is yet to be seen. However, not everyone is entirely chuffed about the loss.

Here are 10 amusing tweets on the subject:

No more nudes in Playboy. What's next? No more lying in politics???!!!!!

Well, I guess, 'No, I just buy it for the articles' doesn't have to be a lie anymore. #Playboy

I only read Playboy for the articles of clothing missing from the people in the photos

Playboy doesn't show nudes.
MTV doesn't play music videos.
The Learning Channel makes you dumber.
What happened to the world.

The old guy I work with literally just called and cancelled his Playboy subscription. Life is full of comedy.

Can't believe the "magazine" part of Playboy outlasted the "nudie" part.

No more nudes in Playboy? Hef must be rolling over in his grave. And also screaming, "Hey! I'M NOT DEAD!!!"

The big irony is that Playboy does have good articles, and now no one is going to read them.

Sorry, Playboy centerfold hopefuls, you’ll have to find another way to disappoint your dads.
