Fifty-three years of Playboy will be coming to DVD this fall, reports Xbiz, and my only question is "really, it's taken this long to scan it all in?"
How interesting thatwill be, though. Half a century of political commentary, of literary fiction, of dirty cartoons. What was vitally important in, oh, 1971, that we don't even remember now?
What did Playboy say during the women's movement in the 1970s? How did the writers cover the beginning of the AIDS epidemic? I'm not old enough to have read it then; I am old enough, and educated and aware enough, to read it now.
Naturally, I'm most interested in how technology creeps into the forefront. When did "the most iconic men's magazine" start to see the relationship between sex and tech, how each influences and transforms the other?
Oh, and I heard the DVD set will have lots of pictures of boobies, too.
