    @Claire Buoyant: "The consequences of crossing Karimova became clear in 2001 when she divorced her husband... The unfortunate ex-husband’s Coca-Cola bottling factory in Uzbekistan was promptly shut down, three of his relatives were imprisoned, and 24 were deported at gunpoint to Afghanistan."

    But what happened to HIM? Has he been seen again?

    @24-7: He's still around. Here's a 2008 story about him: [www.law.com]

    I'm a bit surprised myself that she didn't just make him disappear, considering the way these ruthless dictators and their families usually operate.

    Having to cater to vile Ceaucèscuan tyrants' women, and accept their blood-soaked money, is why couturiers in Paris numb themselves with drugs and drink. Also because it's fun.

    Wait just a minute. They paid 150 large and he never had to actually expose the captain?

    And Playgirl is kinda bummin cause of the lack of enthusiasm from their, ahem, "readers"?

    Sorry to have to be so crass but without a saluting member present, revenues are going to be flaccid.

    The page 6 math on that doesn't reflect how real world business works.

    You don't need to get $150,000 in subscriptions for the investment in that shoot to be worth it.

    It increased brand awareness, got heterosexual women to think about Playgirl, let people in general know that Playgirl is still operational and built up a lot of overall awareness.

    What that means is that they might not get $150k in sign ups right away, they will get more sign ups over time, be able to charge more/get more click throughs on their ads, etc...

    If they spent the same $150 on online advertising they wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the overall value for their money that they got from this shoot.

    @drunkexpatwriter: Yeah, I think they're right that it would have cost much more than that to get the marketing results the whole stupid thing provided. That doesn't change the fact that they're a hella gay magazine trying to relaunch in a recession, when unlimited and excellent free porn is abundant, when gay media is wheezing its last gasp, and when print in general is collapsing, but hey, all that was also true three months ago, before any of us knew Playgirl still existed.

    @Solomon Grundy: That doesn't mean it's a bad investment. There are many, many worse ways to spend marketing dollars than this.

    And now it looks like they'll have the Tiger Woods photos next.

    @drunkexpatwriter: I didn't mean to imply it was a bad marketing investment. Quite the contrary, it was a marketing coup. How does Page Six think that's even a question? Playgirl was SO off the radar before this.
