I am astounded at the reactions to the recent issue of Modern Ferret. When I heard a Playboy centerfold was going to be featured, I didn't think a thing about it. What's the big deal??? I have always thought that people get so riled up about sexual things but think little of violence. Look at movies and TV today. The movies that are rated "R" or "X" are usually rated that way because of sex scenes or nude bodies. The lesser rated movies have blood and guts and gore in them. Where is the logic??? I would rather my child (I don't have any human children) see a naked body than blood and guts and guns and drugs. And, MF had none of the above in it. Playboy has always been around. And, in today's world, it is very calm and tasteful in comparison to what else is out there. This is the 90s folks. Children are exposed every day to sex and violence whether it's in their schools, talking to their friends, or watching TV. Unless your children have been exposed to Playboy magazine, I doubt they would even know the significance of the recent MF issue. That is, unless you make a big deal out of it.
