Playboy to end Playmate of the Year in favor of inclusivity

[PAGESIX] It’s the end of the road for Playmate of the Year, Page Six is told.
I just heard Hugh Hefner turn over in his grave.
Since 1960 Playboy has handed out the award to its favorite Playmate of the month from the previous year, giving the honor to such skin superstars as Jenny McCarthy, Anna Nicole Smith and Victoria Silvstedt over the years. (And, notably, Karen McDougal).

But a rep for the magazine tells us that from now on it will be replaced by Playmates of the Year, ’celebrat[ing] all twelve diverse Playmates of the month" from the previous year. The rep told us it’s now "a more inclusive celebration."

"The point of this change was to not exclude anyone and instead of honoring one Playmate they’re honoring all 12 diverse Playmates of the year for each of their unique contributions to the brand" they said. "They had an exceptional group of impressive diverse women join the Playboy family as Playmates for 2019. These women are accomplished advocates and admirable personalities in their own right. We wanted to raise the group up as a whole and felt that there was a need to commemorate each of them one more time."

It means that the last-ever Playmate of the Year will be 2019’s Jordan Emanuel.

#3 Playboy should come out of the closet and just use twinks as centerfolds.

#4 Not Bee (?!?), fooled again. "Go woke, go broke" ... expect Playboy Enterprises to disappear in a few years (more than the internet has already rendered it irrelevant).

#5 Haven't seen a copy of Playboy in 20 years. Last time I saw one, I think it was found in a moldy box in the neighbor's garage.
