I remember when Hugh Hefner was the toast of the town, almost any city. Now things do not seem the same. With Jennifer Sterger Playboy pinup girl all the tabloids with QB Brett Farve, the man of Indonesia Erwin Arnada in lamb marking Indonesia indecency laws, and circulation in its lowest point - Hugh Hefner has to be with the frown.
Despite this Playboy pin up or that going viral on the Web about every month, a world seeming to starve for anything sexually explicit, and digital opportunity a plenty, Playboy just isn’t what it was back in 1953 when Hefner began a vision. Back in my heyday, 1972, Playboy sold over 7 million copies (no I did not buy them all). These days making 2 million would be considered a banner year. And talk about loses, in 2008 when the recession hit Hefner’s losses totaled more than $150 million. You have to feel bad for Hugh Hefner a bit.
