Shit, you haven't been able to give away a copy of Playboy since somewhere around 2005, with a few exceptions. When we were carrying Playboy in my old porn stores the only time it ever sold is when some celebrity of varying degree was posing in it, and the highest selling copies were when a female pro wrestler was posing naked. Every time a female pro wrestler was on the cover I would order extra copies, and they would ALWAYS sell out. The highest selling issues of Playboy I can remember since early 2000 were Sable (twice), Chyna (twice), Torrie Wilson, and Candice Michelle, all from the WWE. What's even funnier is those were all huge sellers, and last month a female wrestler from TNA Wrestling, Tracy Brooks, had a nude pictorial, and the new idiot editor decides he doesn't want Playboy associated with pro wrestling, so he moves her pictorial from the magazine to the Cyber Club. Is it any wonder they are a sinking ship?
