From an article on the forthcoming "Girls of the Pac-10" feature.
"When Playboy was first launched, it provoked moral panic in the United States," said Herdt. Today, he said, Playboy is just "another thing out there, like a bag of potato chips."
There haven't even been any sizable protests since 2000, when the magazine crew drove a Playboy bus cross-country and was met by various protests, said contributing producer Jodi Vander Woude, who has worked for Playboy for 15 years.
"We miss those pickets," she said. "It's fun to talk to them."
