What are your thoughts to Playboy magazine stopping nude photos?

I think this kills that magazine. Something of a head-scratcher, for sure.

the end of an era ...... and the fall of a huge business

All I can say is that Playboy did show nudity in a high class manner, that is why they got so many celebrities over the years. Larry Flynt's Hustler, on the other hand was pure smut. And yes, I did read the articles, jokes and comics. I just saved the centerfold for dessert.
