Playboy, for example, is unlikely to spark much controversy.

At least not in civilized countries. But in the USA, even "Cosmopolitan" has the front-text covered by some super markets because it may contain words that will damage the soul of the children. Playboy isn't sold at such super market. And I'm not talking about a small community in the bible belt - but big city east coast USA. But what do you expect from a country that has had a "nipple gate"?

Of course, the newsstand two blocks futher has an impressive collection of porn magazines.

I don't mind porn. It's teddy bears where I draw the line.
