equalitymyth: Nora Ephron on the premiere of NBC’s The Playboy Club, in this week’s NEWSWEEK: I worry (as someone who was an adult in the 1960s) that young people will see The Playboy Club and think that this is what life was like back then and that Hefner, as he also says in his weird, creepy voice-over, was in fact “changing the world, one Bunny at a time.” So I would like to say this: 1. Trust me, no one wanted to be a Bunny. 2. A Bunny’s life was essentially that of an underpaid waitress forced to wear a tight costume. 3. Playboy did not change the world.

Nora Ephron on the premiere of NBC’s The Playboy Club, in this week’s NEWSWEEK:

I worry (as someone who was an adult in the 1960s) that young people will see The Playboy Club and think that this is what life was like back then and that Hefner, as he also says in his weird, creepy voice-over, was in fact “changing the world, one Bunny at a time.”

So I would like to say this:

1. Trust me, no one wanted to be a Bunny.

2. A Bunny’s life was essentially that of an underpaid waitress forced to wear a tight costume.

3. Playboy did not change the world.
