ATL in the centerfold! ATL in the centerfold!
Okay, not in the centerfold -- we wish. But as we recently mentioned, this fine website is featured in the December 2007 issue of Playboy magazine (p. 61). It's far more thrilling than a shout-out in the New York Times or the Washington Post.
A reader kindly sent the mention our way; it appears to the right. In case you're curious about what surrounded the item, check out more of the page, after the jump.
Speaking of playboys, check out this article -- an oldie, but a goodie -- about Germany's answer to Hugh Hefner. From Spiegel Online:
Aging German playboy Rolf Eden has rarely taken no for an answer. And he's not about to start. He has filed charges against a 19-year-old for refusing to sleep with him. The complaint? Ageism....the 77-year-old Eden has filed suit against a 19-year-old Berlin woman for the following reason: Despite a night on the town with Eden, which ended back at his place, she refused to have sex with him, saying the he was too old for her.
"That was shattering. No woman has ever said that to me before," Eden told the tabloid. "I was crushed." He has filed charges with the prosecutors' office, he said. "After all, there are laws against discrimination."
Partners whose advances have been rejected by summer associates surely agree.

I'd fease all over her torts. Her torts gave my hung jury a pro bono.
is he suing for specific performance?
That Der Spiegel article is quite a read:
"In 2002, Eden -- who claims to have bedded between 2,000 and 3,000 women in his long life -- raised eyebrows with an article in a Berlin tabloid saying he would like to die while having sex. He wrote: 'I would like to die as I have lived -- on a woman.'"
Taking money for services not rendered is stealing.
12:56: THERE'S NO NEED TO YELL.
LAT:
PLEASE DO A POST FOR ASSOCIATES WORKING AT CHICAGO-BASED FIRMS. WE NEED A FORUM WHERE WE CAN VENT TO EACH OTHER ABOUT BONUSES IN YEARS PAST, AND TRY AND READ THE TEA LEAVES FOR THIS YEAR.
THANKS!

12:56/1:09(1)/1:09(2)/Assorted times in other threads: Lat knows. We all know. Fucking chill out, spammer.
Shut the fuck up already!
Wait, that's what Playboy looks like now? US News & World Report is sexier.
Shut the fuck up already!
1:22 --
Do you know whether Lat will do a post for associates woring at Chicago-based firms?
Thanks,
Chicago-based associate
That's both hilarious and creepy.
I would like to sue Brad Pitt for not sleeping with me. It's classism.
I hope an 80-year-old woman who Eden rebuffs sues him right back for ageism. What's good for the goose...
I want LAT FOR CENTERFOLD!!!!!!!!!! Play-blogger of the month :-)
I hope specific performance isn't available as a remedy for that sort of thing in Germany.
Also, I'm skeptical of his "No woman has ever said that to me before" line
