A while ago I reported hearing from people who should know that Playboy was making plans to buy AVN. As I heard it the deal was effectively done.
Now the same people who seemed so sure are backing off the story and Luke Ford (who’s listened to by the movie folks - despite their often genuine claims to hate his guts) has published an apology.
I won’t apologize, it goes against my Klingon upbringing, but I will say I have less confidence in the deal going down than I did. It’s not going to happen.
My guess is that after some initial interest Playboy discovered AVN’s not the cash-cow they imagined, or perhaps wiser heads prevailed and realized magazine publishing’s not the future.
Know any different? Talk to me.

Yeah, I think you’re right. Playboy is gonna be hurting some because of that new online gambling law.
JohnIan - Playboy’s always hurting. It’s what they do…
