Playboy's days are over. The term 'Playboy' as well as the Playboy bunny logo that were once considered the epitome of cool have lost its freshness and has now come to be seen as a symbol of what is not cool.

    They can send all the out of work bunnies to my house. I promise I will feed and care for them.

    Er....yeah.....it was over by about 1992 for anyone who is the "epitome of cool". Lost it`s freshness? It is in more dire need of some Kabi-Killer than my bathroom!

    As long as the Playboy continues to appear on the navy blue socks of 16 and 17-year-old high school girls, you'll hear no complaints from me.
