Playboy magazine. To be found on the top shelves of newsagents and news stands worldwide, where teenage boys would ogle the covers in the hope of developing x-ray vision. If they were lucky, some would find a copy under the mattress on their dads side of the bed. It would be stolen and returned several times a week.

Then Hunter S. Thompson came along and all men found a new use for Playboy. READING!
