Whitlock wronged by Playboy

[friend of a friend]

Jesus forking Christ.
When are you people going to realize that 90% of this forking country doesn't know nor care about Jason forking Whitlock.

It would just be so much easier if you could make us a list of what we were and were not allowed to talk about.

Get it pinned to the top, just in case anyone gets a wild hair, it's right there to reference.

Thanks.

Well done, snoopy.

And when Pilot posts, it takes all my strength to avoid posting "Oh, oh OH, it's magic, you know, never believe it's not so." Yay me.

You gots style. You gots Pilot style.

Yes, the preemptive rebuttal column was self-aggrandizing, and if it went in the Star's sports section it was mislocated. Nonetheless, it raises a good point.A story advancing the notion that a country's character can be judged by its prisons is compelling enough without sexing it up with references to the KKK that weren't part of the piece. Even though it's Playboy and thus hangs its success on the mantle of pornography, it is a publication, nonetheless, and should strive to be accurate in everything it does. Except air-brushing centerfolds.

But the killer stylo book lives forever.

Well here's the cover.

Whitlock's headline is on the right side of the cover. The left side is, of course, slightly NSFW.

I don't see it.

Do you mean where it says KKK ?

Yeah, that's the one.

Jason has a point and he does a good job explaining everything that went into the misleading headline. He also pointed out that Playboy told him one of his options was to criticize the magazine. I'm just not sure when they told the Star that they were the ones who had to print it.

Column was fine, should have run in Playboy.

Whitlock (again) writes column explaining the Playboy column.
