Promoting porn

Was it really necessary for the Post-Gazette to plug Playboy's 3-D June issue ("Playboy to Try a 3-D Centerfold," May 12)? I'm sure sales will soar; hope you get a "cut." Your ads in the Sports section are bad enough!

Sadly, porn, even "soft" porn, is more addictive than drugs and alcohol and usually starts with that first issue bought. It destroys relationships, both emotionally and financially.

So, I ask you, why was that so newsworthy?
