Hugh Hefner to sack Playboy bunnies amid financial crisis

Tycoon Hugh Hefner has been advised to cut back on staff at his multi-million dollar glamour empire as it struggles to cope during the global economic turmoil.

The 83-year-old has been told to lay off some of his staff at his Los Angeles and New York offices as soon as this month or go bankrupt.

The company has recently seen shares fall from £6.20 to £1.55.

Elmer Fudd the noted congressman from ACME Acres is said to be behind the motion for Hefner to sack the bunnies. When asked his motivation for his decisions, Congressman Fudd said,

"Be vewwwwy quiet, I'm huntin' wabbits!"

Playboy stock has been on a steady decline for quite some time. The article makes it sound like the drop from £6.20 to £1.55 has occurred within the last few days, but that is not the case.

I think he's just using it as an excuse to drop the old ladies and bring in something newer.

Playboy is it's own worst enemy. A statistics drop like that is due to only one reason, they have someone on their staff or association who is a bona fide fuck up. How can you not make money selling pussy? Only a fucking retard with all that money, brand name, resources not be able to sell some pussy. That's a damned shame. What's this world coming to?

A simple glance at who Playboy the corporation associates with on the web will be a fine indicator as to why it's fucking up so bad.

That can be a problem because if economy go down than people will stop to buy porn which is bad for all of us.

typically the mob found this not to be the case.
Booze, hookers, porn, gambling and drug sales all seem to go up during economic downturns. People turn to their vices to forget their troubles.

Only thing that scares me, credit becoming more scarce. Fewer Americans will have a credit card, so we'll need some viable billing alternatives in the near future.

I think Playboy's decline is because of Internet porn.

More free porn on the internet, nobody wants to spend their money on material stuff, makes sense.

As long as they keep bringing in the traffic I'm happy.
