Did you lose your 1953 debut issue of Playboy magazine, the one with Marilyn Monroe on the cover? Well good news, the company has just launched a new web-based subscription service that will allow you to see every single page of every issue... ever, and forever.
Not too long ago Playboy pulled out of Manhattan as their circulation plummeted by the millions, and this appears to be their latest effort to stay afloat. The magazine's chief content officer, Jimmy Jellinek, says the service is "meant to appeal to that sense of collective nostalgia and affinity." At least to the collective nostalgia and affinity of those who don't want to stash 682 issues under their mattress—now they can all be available on your iPad!
"The world's sexiest time machine" will cost you just $8 per month or $60 per year—and that includes the articles, like interviews with John Lennon and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and pieces penned by Hunter S. Thompson, Kurt Vonnegut, and Jack Kerouac.
