Playboy wants Wal-Mart women
Read the article

So what got me was the comment:
"We knew that this would be a very provocative thing for us to do," said John Thomas, editor of Playboy.com. "Wal-Mart has a conservative corporate image and we knew they wouldn't be thrilled. But we're hoping that the company will be pleased once they see how fun the pictures are and how empowered the women at Wal-Mart feel."


So posing nude for a magazine is supposed to make women feel empowered? Any other reason would have been fine with me. Like maybe all the chicks are really hot. Or giving the girls a chance at more money maybe? But really, empowerment? No offense, but I think if a woman is going to be empowered by that then her standards are too low. Rather she could be empowered by being a highly paid corporate executive, or renowned writer or performer or something. Not just like "hey everyone likes me because I took my clothes off and let them look." I dont care how tasteful playboy is about it. I could get the same thing for free walking around the red light district in Frankfurt.

ok. I'm done.

i feel empowered when I'M naked. just thought i'd mention that.

also: would it be chauvanistic to now approach a good looking walmart gal and say "hey good lookin', i'll be seeing you in playboy!"

who knows? She might like it. If you do decide to do that, i'd be prepared for a slap in the face... or an exciting romp through the shoe section.
