Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

The Associated Press: A whole different Playboy channel _ for the blind: "Suzi Hanks reads Playboy magazine for the articles. And the jokes. And the letters and cartoons.

And yes, for the pictures.

Each week, for an hour, Hanks snuggles close to a microphone in a tiny soundproof closet, reading — and describing in great detail — portions of the latest Playboy issue for the blind."

Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.

Not so salacious as the lede would suggest. As someone who's done this kind of work, describing DOONESBURY as well as reading the dialog was the most fun, trying to decide what was the most useful sets of ad copy to read and reading the chess column before I knew all the shorthand was the least.

This, however, from the PLAYBOY reporter in re: the models, is hilarious:

"Each one is different," she said. "Each one is like a little snowflake."
