FriendFinder Networks to Announce Bid for Playboy Thursday

BOCA RATON, FL.–FriendFinder Networks has announced that it will make public its proposal to acquire Playboy Enterprises on Thursday July 15, at 12:30 pm. Presumably, that means 12:30 pm Eastern Standard Time.

FriendFinder CEO Marc Bell said on Monday that his company was "exploring an alternative proposal" to Hugh Hefner's announced intent in a letter to the company's board to buy back all outstanding Playboy shares and take the company private.

Penthouse magazine is owned by FriendFinder Networks.

As long as it means:

A) A return to natural looking models
B) An end to air brushing
C) The firing of a writing staff woefully stuck in 1968
D) An overhaul of the magazine that reflects the second decade of the 21st century.

In terms of hardcore I would rate the porn magazines as:

  1. softcore: playboy
  2. mix: penthouse
  3. hardcore: hustler
    Does not surprise me that hustler is the most expensive magazine subscription (40/yr), then penthouse (30/yr) then playboy (16/yr).

Too little money. Hugh won't accept loss of control. Not that Playboy is worth anything anymore other than some minor real estate and brand name value.
