Playboy University vs Facebook
The 54-year old Playboy magazine continues to lose money.
It figures, who buys the rag when all, more, too much, grossly too much can be seen online for free?
So, what do Hugh and his girls have in mind?
Playboy University or Playboy U…a social networking site dedicated solely to college students (yeah, right) along the lines of Facebook but showing much more than the face I presume.
Playboy U, being launched just in time for the beginning of the new school year has life lessons in mind as well - “We’re looking at this as a way to introduce and escort someone through their adult life,” says a Playboy VP.
“This is one brand that is relevant to 18 through 81-year-olds,” he drones.
Uh…I thought they were targeting college students.
Playboy U is hoping that collegians who have warmed up to parties, promotional events and pictorials in the past, will ‘come to school’ and learn.
What next…Hustler U? Gambling U?
In a society where people are free to do anything…some people will do anything…including Playboy.
