    I covered a Playboy event once. The girls were nice and, to be honest, the pr girl was probably hotter (not to mention classier and smarter) than any of them.

    Playboy has copy to edit?

    Playboy might as well be Highlights Magazine with the stuff they have on the 'net these days.

    But Playboy's feature articles are seriously great. When I subscribed for a few years, I'd spend days reading the articles before I even checked out the photos. And if I remember correctly, never many copy editing errors - must have a quality staff.

    If you took this job, you could legitimately say you read Playboy for the articles.

    I remember going downstairs to where the paper was laid out from time to time and talking with the press foreman and layout people at the Dallas Time Herald.
    They had these almost poster-sized pics of naked women from various strip clubs around town. They'd crop and cut, finally using just the faces and a bit of cleavage for the ads that ran in the paper. They kept all the originals, though, and we'd persuse them from time to time.
    Good ole days.

    I have long understood the policy at Playboy was to promote from within.
