Nothing like “A Couple Of 3-D Boobs,” eh? Well, Hugh Hefner, in a vain attempt to resuscitate his flailing Playboy magazine, has decided to pull the most utterly predictable move imaginable — put centerfold Hope Dworaczyk in 3-D (glasses included):

This is the latest attempt by Playboy to attract new readers, as the magazine has seen circulation drop from 3.5 million in 2006 to 1.5 million today.

“This particular picture is one example of how books and magazines are different (than computer images),” Hefner added. “You can hold it in your hands, save them, and as Dad used to, put them under the mattress.”

Hefner, who said he thought about 3-D images for the magazine long ago, but didn’t move forward because of the heavy expense, happily found a partner to help absorb the cost this time around.

To promote its show, “True Blood,” HBO partnered with Playboy on the 3-D centerfold project, branding the glasses with the show’s name.

Oh sure, this sounds like a failproof plan, alright. Because nothing could possibly be cooler than getting caught masturbating to Playboy than getting caught masturbating to Playboy while wearing a pair of “True Blood” 3-D glasses. When that happens, be sure and thank James Cameron.
