Gadget Or the Girl Reality Show Makes You Choose Between iPod or iPoon

Posted by Jason Chen at 8:40 AM on August 12, 2008

A new show on Playboy TV asks the question that is on all our minds day in and day out: what would you choose, a girl or a gadget? Their Gadget or the Girl reality "program" will force contestants to choose between a weekend vacation with a girl of their choice--as in one of the contestant's providing, we assume, and not just them naming Evangeline Lilly and doing the biggest fist pump in the history of man--or a random high gadget. What kind of gadget? Crave says it's going to vary between things like a 60-inch HDTV to an upright arcade box, but they won't know what it is until they made their decision. So tough! If only I could have Evangeline Lilly as a sounding board for this decision. [CNET]

At least some of you are reading this article because of the word "Playboy" in the headline, but unfortunately, the product isn't all that provocative. By Alcatel, the Playboy-branded OT-V770A features a 1.3MP camera, 10MB of on-board memory, microSD support and, here's the kicker, a Playboy bunny logo.

Keep Going All Night With Playboy's Own Energy Drink

Posted by Nick Broughall at 12:35 PM on February 29, 2008

Playboy is the new ~~Disney~~ Krusty the Clown – they'll put their logo on pretty much anything in the hopes of making a buck. The latest? Playboy Energy Drinks.

I'm sure there's a link the marketing department over at the Playboy mansion will be working on between the drink and sex with hot women. Perhaps they'll try and convince people it's like a liquid Viagra. Maybe they'll make an ad where Hugh acts all tired, with dozens of bunnies hanging off him, wanting his shrivelled old body to embrace their silicon-filled ones in an orgy of wrinkles and implants. And he'll be like, "No, I'm too tired, and too old," and then one of them will bring him one of these energy drinks, and then they'll fade to black and when they fade back up, all the women are satisfied and Hugh's smiling. Or dead. Does it matter?

Playboy Mobile is on the hunt for a lady. No surprises, there, then. It's on the hunt for a lady who it can thrust US$5,000 at, photograph at the Playboy Mansion and then call Miss Playboy Mobile 2008. Competitors must ~~have a suitcase full of lingerie a couple of sizes too small~~ be over 18, and the winner will be voted for by the general red-blooded public. The lucky lady will be crowned at the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa at Vegas' Palms Casino on April 2. Yep, that's during CTIA. [Miss Playboy Mobile via The Earth Times]

Whispers abound that Playboy is about to launch itself into the mobile phone market, with LG, Motorola and Siemens (well, whaddaya know?) most likely front-runners to carry the iconic bunny badge on their mobiles. Anyone have any questions? I know I do...
