Kind of defeats the whole purpose of getting a playboy I would think

Playboy has words?

Oooookay.

Why?

I don't mean to be rude, but if you can't see it, what's the point?

It's like putting braile on buttons at the DRIVE-THRUATM.

Braile=blind. I don't see too many blind people driving(in fact I see no blind people driving,) so what's the point in that, other than ADA compliance?

cheaper to use Braile buttons on all instead of seperate buttons.
My friend in NYC is blind and has Playboy, it's pretty much paper that feels like it came from a super market paper bag.
ETA:Rare in the EBAY description is horseshit, they're pretty common in the blind community

yeah, it makes sense. Blind people have the right to read, just like the rest of us...even if they cannot read "like the rest of us."

Hey they have interesting articles... I think. Maybe the women are 3D for them to feel?

I went to Indiana State University, and they had them in the library.

Remember the one in "Men in Tights"?

The next town over from me has them in their library, you have to be 18 and all that good stuff, kept behind a counter, have to go into a certain area to read it.

WTF, $4 for media mail?
Its material for the blind, that gets a greatly reduced rate, I think its even free.

And, does it even have pictures, or is it just the articles?

There is a guy selling some in the EE.

They were made for Playboys's customers who went blind from, well you know.

Well, they'd better quit now while they can. Next step is growing hair on their palms and fingertips.

Then WTF are they going to do?

When you pull out the centerfold do you just follow the dotted lines?

Yes I did, and you won't believe who was reading/feeling it!

I was on a Delta flight from Atlanta to Jacksonville. I was seated in an aisle seat in first class. Across the aisle was Ray Charles! He was a really nice guy. He was joking arounfd and asking the stewardesses for their phone numbers. He was drinking tall glasses of Baily's on the rocks.

On his lap he had a stack of a few Braille Playboy magazines! The covers were white with the word Playboy across the top of the cover in black. He opened the top magazine to a page of all Braille, and was reading with his fingers. I joked around with him that the articles must be good for real.

Ray had a younger guy traveling him. He did everything for him including signing autographed pictures for the flight crew. I was going to ask, but when I saw the assistant doing the signing, I took a pass.

Ray was going to visit relatives in Florida.

That’s what I want to know too.

I’ve known there was Braille Playboys for some time now. But I’ve always wondered how they did the pictures and such.

I saw one a few years ago. It had the Playboy emblem on the cover and the rest was just braille. I photocopied a few pages but have no clue where they are now. Kinda cool.
