Playboy Returns

Two stories with, I think, a not very subtle linkage.

I am concerned by the way our children are exposed to sexual images and
references so early in their lives and I do wonder if this contributes to
the "post-feminist" trend that so annoys my Mrs as young women seem to have
one main ambition, to be a celebrity based on their looks or to marry a
footballer. What happened to wanting to be PM or Astronomer Royal?

Which may explain why the women objecting to the re-opening of London's
Playboy club are on a hiding to nothing.

From what I hear Playboy is pretty tame stuff compared to some of the bars
and clubs on pretty much every high street these days.
