Female Bloggers Want Out of Playboy Poll

July 17, 2008 by Thord Daniel Hedengren

Veronica Belmont and Sarah Austin wants out of the sexiest female bloggers poll on Playboy, according to a story on TechCrunch, but Playboy says no. It would, of course disrupt the poll. While I have no love for these kind of polls, and the Playboy one is no exception, I do think that if you’ve consented to being featured by Playboy, and even sent in a photo, you’ve got only yourself to blame. In fact, I was somewhat surprised by how frank Playboy was in their approaching e-mail, quoted on TechCrunch.

Sure, maybe they didn’t know that Playboy would ask the winner to pose for the website, but the key word here is ask. You don’t have to say yes, you know…

Luckily, for those involved wanting out, it seems as if the feature’s going away soon. I would bet, however, that we’ll be seeing more of this in the future.

Update: Veronica Belmont actually doesn’t want out, she just wish she knew what Playboy was doing before accepting.

Playboy Asks: Who’s the Hottest Female Blogger?

July 10, 2008 by Thord Daniel Hedengren

Oh wonderful, just wonderful. Guess what Playboy got out of the BoingBoing-Viloet Blue controversy? The gist of it, obviously, since it ends up in a poll on who is the hottest female blogger, with 9 talented women being pushed forward.

There are some familiar faces, such as the Loaded host Natali Del Conte, interviewed today on BloggerTalks, Xeni Jardin of BoingBoing, and Violet Blue of course.

Typical Playboy, right? Probably, but they’re not alone, as Michael Arrington points out, Wired did the same, and Ariel Waldman reminds us of another one of these things.
