Bongoing, bongoing, bongone.
I learn with interest that top bongo mag Penthouse has filed for bankrupcy. Apparently the bongo behemoth's readership has shrunk from 5 miliion to a little over 500,000. This is a startling descent, and begs the question of what exactly causes such an enormous loss of readers. Given that, with the best will in the world, one's editorial expectations of a stroke mag (naked ladies), is unlikely to stray far from one's experience, that is. Did Penthouse show the wrong naked ladies, or perhaps did it transpire that 9 in every ten readers were in fact reading it for the articles and left in disgust as the editorial standard went downhill, having no real interest in the distracting and undesired naked ladies?
All rather peculiar, essentially.
Yeah, I know, it's the Internet, but think of the other factors.
