According to Pinoy Spy Reporter Playboy is to launch a Philippine edition of the iconic mens magazine.
What’s the catch, and joke of the day you ask?
Call the Philippine’s version Playboy Lite, it will contain no nudity says Playboy Philippines editor Beting Laygo Dolor. “No, Playboy Philippines will not be more daring than FHM,” he says. “We will be adjusted to the local culture and sensibilities.”
BUWAHAHAHAHA!
What marketing “genius” thought this up?
Both FHM Philippines and Maxim Philippines offer nudity that can be seen in the checkout aisle at the local Handyman Hardware & WalterMart outlets among other places.
And it has to be said “local culture and sensibilities” include the Sex Bomb Dancers that shake their hardly covered asses daily on the Eat Bulaga! game show.
Philippines Playboy Lite… BUWAHAHAHAHA!
this magazine is totally useless. i’d rather buy the much cheaper fhm than this conservative crap. this mag should be called “prayboy”, not playboy. go ahead and pray all day but you won’t see any pussy here.
Question is, who’s a lying bastard?
Those at Playboy that claim the Phil version of Playboy will contain no nudity, or the printers of the first edition that are claiming on the cover it does?
Playboy Philippines is much more than a BOO… it is a insult to the Playboy editions worldwide.
Dalisay and Yuson and the other Palanca award winners are excellent writers… excellent but boring. pretty much like their newpaper columns. there’s just no way that they can catch the attention of magazine readers. as i’ve mentioned in other blogs and sites… Beting has formed a dream team… for a NEWSPAPER! they are entering a genre which they cannot possibly comprehend. they are dependent on words… a magazine is not a newspaper… magazines depend heavily on visuals. which none of the editorial team of Playboy… and their useless Palanca writers have. you cannot teach a geriatric dog new tricks. Dolor, Yuson, Dalisay, and the rest are not even willing to embrace this. how can they possibly succeed?
And the publisher is more concerned about acquiring the Playboy Casino. he does not give a damn about the magazine. At least Gokongwei of Summit and Lopez of Abs-Cbn pub are conscious about the quality of their mags. Mr. Ku… just simply… doesn’t care. that’s why it’s ok for Playboy Philippines to look like crap… as long as he can hold on and wait for Playboy international to foolishly give him the casino franchise… he’s happy.
but you have to give it to the Playboy Philippines people. they are a hardy bunch. i guess for people like Krip Yuson… this is his last stab at fame and fortune. and for people like Beting Dolor… he’s just too old to do anything else. pretty much like their magazine… it is a desperate attempt.
new chismis about Playboy. The Hef heard & saw that it was so bad… he had all the issues pulled out.
anybody out there who can confirm this?
heard more inside chismis.
Priscilla hated the original “Black Mamba Team” that did the photography. it was just a bunch of “feeling-photographer-fellows” who thought that they were good enough to do a magazine shoot.
But they were idiots and Priscilla was super disappointed. she specifically fixed up the famous SECOND SHOOT (on her own! go girl!) with a better and competent and REAL team. she told the staff of Playboy Philippines not to use any of the shots from the first shoot. but lo and behold… they still used the cooking magazine cover option. She was really pissed but gave up.
Poor Priscilla.
Your “chismis” is about as full of crapola as you are.
You have nothing but the typical and nonsensical crap everyone sees here via that tiny little idiot box called a cell phone and sms msgs.
well my chismis is better than yours.
since i heard it from the people who shot Playboy itself.
and why the fuck are you rattling on me? i’m just telling you what i heard and you wail on me like a spoiled little brat?
sheesh. i’m sharing news with you and you snap.
take a chill pill.
if there’s anyone that’s filled with 3 day old shit… it’s you.
Marc.
i seriously liked the observation that you have of Playboy Philippines.
“And it has to be said “local culture and sensibilities” include the Sex Bomb Dancers that shake their hardly covered asses daily on the Eat Bulaga! game show.”
that’s why i was posting to your blog the information that i have. because it supports the outlook that the team of Playboy Philippines does not know what the hell they are doing.
if you don’t believe me or whatever fine.
No I don’t believe you.
I’ve been in the Philippines every year since 1981 and have been living here since 2001 and know full well the place runs on rumors, wives tales and pure unadulterated crap.
If it weren’t for trash spread thru text messages there wouldn’t be any “news” at all.
wow! i feel sorry for you.
