Nudity More Political Than Ever?

Celebrating his birthday Hugh Hefner states a sad truth:
“As much as things change, they stay the same,” Hefner remarks, disappointment in his voice. “There is still controversy about, maybe even more than before, not just nudity — a nude statue.”
That is Hefner’s point — that Playboy with its mission of sexual liberation is as relevant as ever in these days of federal government crackdowns on television content that some consider indecent.
“Attitudes toward nudity and Playboy have changed, in many ways, very little,” says the man who gave the world the centerfold. “In some ways it is even more political than it was in the ’50s and ’60s.”
Celebrating 80th birthday, Hefner says he wouldn’t change a thing
