Playboy goes 3D

There should be a "6" in there somewhere.

Jumping on the bandwagon - and hitting its head, because you can't judge distance when you're wearing those stupid glasses - Playboy will have a 3D pictorial:

Sports Illustrated tried this a few years ago with the swimsuit issue. They don't do it anymore, because it looked like a printing error. Not to say 3D doesn't have its appeal; Disney has some wonderful 3D shows at its parks, and the glasses don't feel like something you cut out of the back of a cereal box. But as long as you have to wear glasses, the ordinary world, known as "naturally occurring 3D," still has its advantages.

Actually, it says that things may appear closer than they actually are. You'd think that would be a good selling point, since for some this is as close to a Playmate as they'll get. But "Incrementally Less Unattainable" is not a particularly strong selling point.
