Hefner Down for the Brown?

Last Saturday, Playboy was graced with their first African-Born Playmate of the Year. Click the link for a little background info on the rich tradition.

27 year-old "Tanzanian" model Ida Ljungqvist was named Playmate of the Year on May 2nd, 2009. As Playmate of the Year, she receives $100,000 in prize money, a brand-spanking-new Mazda, and a bottle of Patron (jealous? a little bit.) The luncheon was the first to be held outside of the Playboy Mansion, and as I knock three times on my wooden desk, one must wonder when the first luncheon will be held withough (gasp) Hugh Hefner (end gasp).


Now this raises a few points one point, actually. Why must models, entertainers, and other celebrities be seen as "Tanzanian, African-American, or Asian whatevers? We're all human beings here, and the prefix shouldn't take away any attention from their accomplishments.

Here's a short clip about last weekend's festivities.
