Playboy Launches Playboy U - Teaches Coeds How To Socialize Online

Facing apparent drought conditions in the sales department, mens magazine Playboy is looking to cuddle up with the college party crowd in an effort to capitalize on the social networking market. Playboy U is the sexy social networking site that's being launched much like Facebook was.

"This is one brand that is relevant to 18 through 81-year-olds," said Scott Stephen, executive vice president of operations for Playboy's entertainment division. "We're looking at this as a way to introduce and escort someone through their adult life."

Word is the social network will only be open to active college students with verifiable .edu addresses and will exclude teachers and faculty, et al. (If your caught posing as a student expect to have photoshopped photos posted before tomorrows class - you've been warned). The premise is to allow collegians a place to post their favorite party photos (no nudity allowed), out of the way of prying eyes and other vagrants that troll the internet looking for the dirt on the latest luscious female to try out for a reality tv series.

If your a college student and you've got an account at Playboy U, give us the low down.
