As if MySpace couldn't be more synonymous with young naked people, now Playboy has plans to release "The Women of MySpace." Way to cash-in Playboy...


Playboy magazine has devoted photo spreads to the women of Enron, Starbucks, and the Ivy League. Now, the magazine's Web site, Playboy.com, is tapping into the Internet for a "Girls of MySpace" photo spread, featuring women from the social and blogging site.

Playboy.com Editor John Thomas said the magazine has always attempted to draw on the cultural zeitgeist for photo spread features. "MySpace is a very hot piece of pop culture," he said. "Be it Enron, or Starbucks, or 7-11, or whatever--what they've always done is focus on cultural flashpoints."

But the move comes at a dicey time for MySpace, which has found itself under scrutiny for exposing teens to possible danger. Last month, a 14-year-old New Jersey girl, Judy Cajuste, was allegedly murdered by a man in his 20s who met her through the site.



Am I just jaded, or does it seem so 90's to sell your body for money? What's next, "The Women of the Blogosphere?"
