Good luck with this:

Oh stop, you're killing us! Assuming anything with "Playboy" in the code gets past work filters, they're going up against a rather crowded field, from Cracked (yes, Cracked; it's actually funny) to CollegeHumor (sites may have language that offends some people, so don't click if you're in the mood to be OUTRAGED) to any of the other billion guy-oriented hardy-har purveyors. They need to be very, very good, and making fun of pants with elastic waistbands isn't exactly gut-busting material.

On an unrelated note: when news articles have to tell you what ROFL or NSFW means, you know they suspect their average reader only uses the internet to forward inspirational emails or pictures of grandchildren.
