Playboy Invites Wal-Mart Women to Pose

Adult entertainment company Playboy Enterprises on Sept. 15 invited Wal-Mart employees to pose nude for a photo series on its Internet site, no small irony since the world’s largest retailer won’t sell Playboy magazines on its shelves.r

“Wal-Mart employees have a reputation for being cheerful and now Playboy.com is giving them a chance to smile for the camera,” a statement from Playboy said.r

In recent years, Playboy has made a splash with other corporate-themed pictorials such as “Women of Starbucks” and “Women of Enron.”r

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Sarah Clark said the solicitation “is something that we have never even considered. If there happens to be any interest from an associate [to pose], we will look into it at that time.”
