What do you think of the BRAILLE PLAYBOY edition?

[AviatorTom]

In October 1992, Playboy released a special edition for its blind readers... a Braille Playboy.

What do you think of that?

My understanding is that in its heyday, Playboy actually paid its writers very well, and attracted some top-tier talent, so it was intelligent literary stuff AND naked women (so while you wouldn't read it just for the articles, you WOULD read them).

So, back in the 60's or 70's, I'd've found the idea kind of thoughtful. By the 90's, it seems more like teasing.

I wonder how the centerfold is converted into braille?

[Grovermint]

Did they make the pictures braille, too? Do they follow the contours of her body?

[AviatorTom]

Interesting question... but you know guys just read Playboy for the articles. 😎

[Grovermint]

Quite.

Much less embarrassing on the bus than the audio version

They won't be able to see the pictures but they can read the articles

Again Playboy ahead of the times. In 1992, Playboy was at the forefront of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity.

Well if they're blind it doesn't matter that it looks like shit.

I already read Playboy with one hand...

The blind have needs too 😂
