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.
