Be thankful for that tie you get. It’s said that it is always better to give that to receive, and that’s especially true if you receive one of the following today:
Burger in your tailpipe, a most alarming cooking device.
Collar stays with dirty messages. From the press release: Can’t find that perfect way to tell your man, “Blow job tonight?”, “Fuck me!” or “You’re sexy,” Well, stop searching now…The Stayclip® Secrets Series, special message collar stays that attach to the Stayclip® ring organizer, is the smartest in men’s accessories, and girlfriends nationwide will have a blast personalizing their significant other’s collar stay with naughty or nice messages.
Anything that questions your abilities as a lover: Kiss tester. Other.

Collar stays have been around longer than Playboy and given as gifts to men for decades. The only thing different with the Stayclip Secrets Series is people are placing explicit speech on the collar stays themselves to express feelings for each other.
I find it difficult to understand how Playboy takes aim at the speech used in this context. Playboy made itself what it is today from expanding Freedom of Speech under the 1st Amendment, and now it appears to at the very least "mock" the sexual expression that nobody except the couple involved shares together with the Stayclip Secrets Series.
Playboy may have been trying to be cute here, and I am not as concerned about what is said but who is saying it. This was the wrong product to degrade because it's obvious why it is being degraded...and freedom of speech should be no laughing matter to Playboy.
Sincerely,
Jason
I actually bought this for my husband (I couldn't find any other gift to give that he didnt already have) and he loved it! I think the secret messages make him feel dangerous at work...
