What on God's green Earth is going on here? The New York Times has reported that Playboy Magazine will stop publishing fully nude models in its print edition. Today, the 12-year-old boy in all of us sheds a tear.

Playboy has been around for over 60 years. Marilyn Monroe, Cindy Crawford, Pam Anderson, Farrah Fawcett... these are some of the women we've been able to gaze upon over the years... you know, after reading the articles of course.

Apparently, the rampant availability of online pornography was part of the decision. Being a click away from moving images of every sex act imaginable makes Playboy's nudity "passé at this juncture", according to CEO Scott Flanders.
