I found this story about how Playboy is looking for its next Playmate on YouTube via Pierre Yann. When the story was published, there were 42 video submissions on YouTube, created by young ladies across the nation aspiring to be the magazine's 55th anniversary playmate. Now, there are 126. They're a gold mine of... What, exactly? Towheaded girls in hot pink short shorts who dream of leaving Pleasant Hill, Iowa, for Hollywood, selling themselves to the camera and looking awkward to a Journey song. One girl says she should be chosen because she is a Leo and adds she is both hardworking and well-rounded over footage of her rubbing at her gyrating hips. Jessica Lynn, 21, OC, California, points out correctly that iMovie has half-decapitated her and offers that her dislikes include current gas prices and bad haircuts. Don't worry about that missing part of your head, Jessica, I wanted to tell her. It really doesn't matter.
