DON’T buy:
–if you are easily offended or upset
–if someone in your house will be upset that Penthouse does not upset you

DO buy:
–if you are interested in a balanced feature on Vancouver’s radical approach to drug policy
–if you are a fan of Don Cheadle
–if you would like to see screenshots of the new Lego Batman video game
–if you appreciate the psychological insights of Dr. Victoria Zdrok (with whom all of my friends were infatuated in college — at the time, she was a grad student in law and psychology and also a Playboy model! c’mon!)
–if you enjoy the aesthetics of the human body (translation: you like boobies)
–if you want to explore the limits of surgical and photographic alteration of the human body

Note to anyone who may have bought Playboys in the past to read Jonah’s baseball articles: Playboy and Penthouse are really not the same. Really really not the same.

Repeat after me: I buy it for the articles.
