Comments on: Vice = Playboy 2.0? http://desedo.com/blog/vice-equals-playboy/ a blog by desedo Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:59:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Biddy http://desedo.com/blog/vice-equals-playboy/comment-page-1/#comment-155 Biddy Wed, 19 Mar 2008 00:23:10 +0000 http://desedo.com/blog/vice-playboy-20/#comment-155 Interesting. I wondered if anyone else was paying attention to this while flipping through Vice. I think a broader question is: could this be the future of pop-culture advertising? Nudity is one thing, but "voyeurism" adds a different level of sexuality. Most issues of Vice I've picked up are from American Apparel, which is no stranger to this "voyeuristic sexuality"...I can't even view their website in open view while at work. And that's not even mentioning the countless issues of vintage "Oui" porno mags plastered on the walls of a New York store or two I've been in. Being "caught in the act" seems to be the appeal these days. You Tube is certainly popular for a reason. Voyeurism is certainly in. And I guess "nekkid voyeurism" to some is even better. :) Interesting. I wondered if anyone else was paying attention to this while flipping through Vice.
