I've been a Playboy subscriber for over 20 years, and I just let my subscription lapse because I'm tired of reading interviews from sports stars and B-grade celebrities, and fiction from college level authors whom I've never heard of. As the pre-eminent men's magazine, Playboy was a pleasure to read every month, but as an imitator of Maxim and Stuff, it's a waste of my time and money. Playboy should go back to being Playboy and publish a men's magazine, and let Maxim and Stuff continue to publish material for hormonal boys. On that latter stage, there's no way Playboy can compete.
