Playgirl offers Michele Bachmann's son $100,000 to pose naked

Just in time for election season to get underway, Playgirl is publicly courting Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R-Minn.) twenty-eight-year-old son Lucas to pose nude, and might pay him up to $100,000 to do it. The magazine's VP of marketing Daniel Nardicio said that Bachmann would be a "perfect candidate" for Playgirl, adding, "Lucas is attractive and I thought it would be sensational."
Two years ago the magazine grabbed headlines for its nude photoshoot of Levi Johnston, and Nardicio acknowledged that the relation of another uber-conservative politician would be a big hit with readers, saying, "People love hypocrisy."
For his part Bachmann, who is currently a psychiatric resident at the University of Connecticut, has publicly declined the offer, but Nardicio remains optimistic: "The ego, the desire of 'oh my God, I'm gonna be in Playgirl' can sometimes win out. I don't think it's out of the question." Fingers crossed!

Ha! Correction noted! Why did you delete the comments? Kind of thin-skinned, isn't it?
Hi Stupid,
The point of comments is to engage in the subject matter of the post. We hardly ever delete comments, except when they stand in the way of an actual dialogue developing. Nonetheless - thanks for your vigilance!

I see, Ben. The disposition below is truly illuminating. The "buttcheeks" discussion is particularly on point.
Do you think he went into psychiatry in the hope of helping his mother with her mental illness?
I think that a lot of people would consider if the "price is right," money makes the world go round and lowers some people's standards.
1) I'm fascinated that Playgirl thinks anyone longs to be in Playgirl. 2) If he's already in his residency to be a psychiatrist, it's unlikely he'll jeopardize it just to show his wang. Levi Johnston didn't have any career prospects; this guy does.
If I remember correctly, Levi didn't go full frontal. Not that showing your buttcheeks in a Playgirl magazine is much better for your professional reputation...
How many of you guys would consider a partial nude pose for a couple hundred thousand dollars? It would make one think twice, that is if you have the equipment.
