I saw an ad on the forums for the Playboy Store.

Not acceptable for a site that is browsed by many minors.

was there any nudity?

if not, chill out. Ads here are far more tame than on TV or the videos on MTV or BET, and the magazines on the racks.

Don't be such a prude.

The language and some of the antics of the posters here, especially in the lounge/political forum are far worse than an advert for Playboy.
However, you can get pithhelmet and block ads. The latest build has an option to block "known advertisement sized=pics". It must work because I can't think of 2 ads I've seen anywhere on this site.
Besides, have you looked at the classified section of any newspaper just about anywhere in the world? Again far worse than an advert for Playboy.

I only read the text on a Playboy advert.

Is this the MacNN version of the nipple shot?
