correct me if I am wrong, but isn't friend finder already sort of in a bit of a spot because their IPO hasn't happened? How can they bid up Playboy if they aren't exactly flush with cash?

Then again, what about Hef? Where the heck would he find that type of money?

It looks like a couple of dinosaurs wrestling to find out which one will freeze in the ice age last.

Hef has some cash.
Where did friendfinder find the money? Im my opinion by fucking its affiliates and changing the rules for payouts.

they should just be a product licensing company for cool clothes and dust collectors type bullshit. They are waaay too dated to be variable.
