COLUMBIA HOUSE PLANS PORN CLUB

I'm confused. The article repeatedly mentions porn, but repeatedly brings up the partnership with Playboy (who refuses to publish pornography). It says that Hush will offer videos from other producers, though, so perhaps they will be porn? I dunno...

I guess that Playboy and others differ in their definitions of "porn".

I hate it when people try to change definitions. What does the dictionary define "porn" as?

Uh, well a friend tells me that he's seen things that make the skinimax version of porn seem ready-for-primetime, but my friend still wouldn't want to be watching a cable movie about a topless carwash for reform school girls with his mother. There's porn and then there's porn.

Playboy probably doesn't want to market themselves as pornagraphers but rather as something more mainstream.
