We don't normally pay attention to Playboy (seeing as pretty much everyone on slaveship Gawker prefers to ogle naked men), but the December cover has us wondering if the art and photo directors are smoking some nasty meth. The Post's preppy perv Jared Paul Stern says it all:

We know Playboy isn't noted for its beautiful covers, but the new Denise Richards issue is particularly hideous. Just because she's got the IQ of a plastic Christmas tree doesn't mean you should dress her like one. The pictures inside are marginally better, but the novelty of Denise Richards nude wears off instantaneously.
