There aren't a lot of restrictions on selling magazines with nude photos in Mexico. http://www.playboy.com.mx/
The word "advirtió" from advertir always throws me a little. In a sense it is if it means the same as it used to mean in English hundreds of years ago.

Not anymore. BTW, the wait for an immigration visa to the US, not counting the ones set aside for "special skills" (such as modeling), is 23 years. That's what's broken about the US immigration system, not the lack of Soviet-style borders. Imagine if there were so many regulations, caps and controls regarding movement within a country. So if you wanted to move from, say, Podunk to Peoria, you'd have to wait two decades to do so, unless you were someone with special skills who would wait only one decade. How many people, do you reckon, would move "illegally" anyway? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I think the Pew estimate is the most often quoted. Basically they believe about 6.5 million unauthorized Mexicans are in the USA, and as many as 25 million would come without authorization.

I've always thought of advertir as a false cognate. You would think it means "to advertise" but I take it more to mean "warn." What I have a harder time with in that sentence is pinche. I've always taken it to mean something like "dang" but am all ears to a more robust definition. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Back in the 70's when I worked for a mob controlled adult bookstore in Santa Barbara, all the porn material came out of Mexico. They had to drive down and get it once a month. Really hardcore stuff. You couldn't produce it here, just sell it. Made no sense. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I've been checking my PO Box every day, and still haven't received mine. So your comment made me research it a bit online, to see what happened. The Playboy website tells me nothing, not even when or if the issue came out yet. Just a bunch of clickbait. Evidently it did come out, and this site has many unhappy reviews of it, so I'm not missing anything. I've been a subscriber since 1980 when I was still in high school (1 year was $36 back then! that's over $100/year in today's currency) and if my subscription ran out, I am a little miffed Playboy never sent me a renewal notice. I get over a dozen magazines and they all start sending my renewals 6 months prior to the end, so I have plenty of time. Playboy has gone downhill over the years anyway. Back in 2010 when they went from 12 issues a year to only 10, I knew the end was near. Then a couple years ago, there was a complete design change, dumbing it down so it's more of a elegant Maxim-type, aimed at 20-somethings. I know I'm not alone in not renewing. Hef has now lived long enough to see his empire crumble around him. |

Didn't know they scaled back that way. Hugh, Larry, and Bob all built their various franchises and saw the life cycle peak, decline, and end or near-end. I still maintain that the USA edition is whole or in part to keep cred for the international editions which still seem to sell. But it will never have that high-class relevance it once had. The President is a fink. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Playboy peaked in the 70's and 80's. It was once an important part of the culture, for it's interviews and articles. Feminism ruined the playboy mystique. Among other things. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
