Fire Them All, Mr. Flanders
Obscene insults and raw hatred are not new in the online world. What made Guy Cimbalo's article about "hate-f***" fantasies so shocking was that it was published by Playboy. Did no one in the editorial process at Playboy.com think twice before hitting the "publish" button on an article that said of Rep. Michelle Bachmann, "Chemical castration has begun to look appealing"?
Cimbalo's article required someone to build multiple Web pages, someone to find, crop and embed photos, someone to write headlines and captions -- hours of paid labor during which various editors had the chance to say, "Hey, wait a minute. Maybe this isn't a good idea."
Cimbalo wasn't a blogger having a bad day who posted an ill-tempered rant. (It happens.) A major corporate enterprise helped produce this insult to the 10 women on Cimbalo's list, a list that included Michelle Malkin, Pamela Geller, Mary Katharine Ham and Amanda Carpenter. Furthermore, John Hawkins points out, Playboy actually issued a press release to promote the article.
Playboy CEO Scott Flanders was not previously known as a porn blogger, but as CEO of the company that publishes the Orange County Register. That a man with his good reputation would permit employees to perpetrate this atrocity is perhaps even more shocking than Cimbalo's perverse sadism (which is nothing new for liberals, as Malkin chronicled in Unhinged.)
Suggestion, Mr. Flanders: Once you learn who helped edit, publish and promote Cimbalo's article, fire them -- and issue a press release naming those you've fired. Replacements? Internet editors are a dime a dozen. (For the right price, you might even be able to hire Ace of Spades or Jeff Goldstein.)
First, however, Playboy must fire the employees who worked on Cimbalo’s article.
Fire them all, Mr. Flanders.

OR...
Allow the ladies named to inflict any OTHER punishment that they can devise, short of summary execution.
Then sell tix to the show. BadaBing!! Cash-flow goes WAY positive.
Why?
Playboy is a dinosaur and on its way to a suitable if undignified extinction. It has followed (and "followed" is the right word, it has never been the trendsetter it pretends) the trajectory of modern liberalism. It had its origins in free speech and the post-WWII refusal to go back to the farm and kitchen. Through the 60s it championed civil rights in a way that didn't actually involve talking to black people and joined in the Vietnam war protests to the extent one could holding a martini. It has now followed the liberal path to bitterness, hatred, envy and every form of bigotry that group-think can justify.
Let it lie. This is the end for such creatures of culture.
As Homer J. Simpson would say, "Stupid Flanders."

Conservative women are HOTter! Just imagine the justified 'Liberal' outrage if say, 'Hustler' Magazine ran a disgusting parody where Rush, Hannity, Beck, Savage and Ann Coulter gang-raped and tickle-tortured Katie Couric, and then Nancy Pelosi.
Imagine. The outrage would last for months in the MSM. There would be calls for firings and boycotts. NOW would be apoplectic. Poor little outraged, hypocritical Libs.
