Playboy

Beijing is also expected to permit distribution of Playboy magazine in China for at least a month to meet the demand of overseas visitors during the Olympics, the sources said.

How typical and stupid for so many reasons.  First, who the hell even reads it anymore?  Second, I have no choice but to view it as racist.  In my experience, Chinese tend to think of foreigners as depraved sex fiends.   Now I will admit that the actions of many Westerners in China may contribute to this view (with the full cooperation of Chinese women of course), however I always found this funny in a country where there is literally not a village, town or city that does not have some sort of whorehouse (whether ktv, massage parlor, or barbershop) on every block.
