Playboy TV Turns Porn Stereotypes Into Reality: Why ‘Brooklyn Kind Of Love’ Sucks

Playboy TV Turns Porn Stereotypes Into Reality: Why 'Brooklyn Kind Of Love' Sucks

Playboy TV (formerly the Playboy Channel, aka that thing one kid in middle school’s dad subscribed to, instantly making him the most popular eighth grader around) has started producing reality TV. Their new series is called Brooklyn Kind of Love and it looks terrible. (Regarding the title: It seems to refer to the kind of love where one cast member has tattoos and another is a lesbian. Perhaps they’re also Yankees fans?)

Question: Emphasizing something as “reality” programming just points out the inherent unreality of porn, right? Except in this case, the show takes the stereotype about women in pornography — that they just cannot get enough dick — and makes it the reality. Based on the trailer, Brooklyn appears to be a show about four oversexed women whose main ambition in life is to get laid as frequently as possible. But here’s the kicker, the reason why this show is even more detrimental than the standard porn fare: All of these sexually overzealous gals’ partners are fed up with the constant demand for fornication. The men (plus that one lesbian partner) are exhausted by their partners’ crazy need for sex. More »

‘Playboy’ Bunnies Aren’t Dumb, They Just Don’t Understand How Airplanes Work

'Playboy' Bunnies Aren't Dumb, They Just Don't Understand How Airplanes Work

Well at least we can’t make a blond joke here: 21-year-old brunette Playgirl Tiffany Livingston freaked out on a recent flight from Orlando to Newark, went to the nearest emergency exit, and tried to “steady herself” with the handle release before some cops dragged her away. The official publicist spin is that she didn’t have her medication, but what self-respecting Hugh Hefner prodigy travels without her medicine case? More »

Oh, she plays the switchboard operator on the show. Can we count up how many seconds of screen-time that has nailed her (yikes)?

Well, at least it gives Hugh Hefner a reason to make the August cover all vintage Playboy-like, recreating the infamous Toni Lacey edition from 1960, so we’ll… More »

And if you do refuse and she robs you of your $78 dollars (hey, you pay for what you get), don’t go to the police, because, d’uh, you were trying to buy sex. But if you are going to do both those things, do it in Florida, where the cops won’t charge you for soliciting a prostitute. (Miami Herald)

Did Drake Illegally Sample A 'Playboy'-owned Song?

Playboy Enterprises has sued Drake and his record label for copyright infringement, claiming he illegally sampled a song they owned on his hit single “Best I Ever Had.”
