Playboy Culture

The UK is currently being swept by a "playboy" culture in which glamour models are lauded as aspirational role models. The playboy brand is fast becoming the hottest fashion accessory.

The playboy bunny is being deliberated promoted and marketed to young girls who have no idea what the playboy brand actually represents. High street favourites such as WH Smith and Argos are selling playboy branded products targeted at young girls.

The acceptance of the playboy brand into our culture as a fashion icon is simply a further signal that porn has become increasingly mainstream. In our culture it has becoming increasingly acceptable to use sexual imagery to sell everything and anything. Glamour models are the new national icons promoted by the media as the face of the modern british woman.

******************************
UPDATE

Apparently both John Lewis and Claire's Accessories have now stopped selling Playboy products.

Argos are however still selling both single and double pink playboy duvet covers. Everything is pink and sparkly and very deliberately targeted at young girls. Playboy is a sex brand. Argos are selling a sex brand which is deliberately targeted at young girls.
