Yes, I'd say Poor Man's Porn is discredited now that technology has marched on. There's still going to be holdouts though but it will be among a small number of people who eschew the Internet.

Cut for natter and Justifying Edit, pending rewrite:
- In the 1996 James And The Giant Peach movie, the Centipede mentions slyly that there are "lots of nice pictures" in National Geographic.
- That isn't necessarily Getting Crap Past the Radar. Perhaps, being an insect, he was merely gawking at all the weird-looking humans in the magazine.
My old school used to subscribe to european news-magazines of the Paris-Match genre, in an attempt to get us improving our French and German off our own bat. Opinion is divided still as to whether they were innocent of the fact Paris-Match had far more liberal, European, ideas of what made a good photoreportage feature in the 1970's. Compred to stuffy and staid British equvalents, P-M could always be relied upon for copious topless and nude shots of french actresses or just good-looking gals. And as for what their German equivalent published... it could be said that most of us got no further than reading the captions, but at least a little French rubbed off on us. Maybe this is what the sly sods intended....
Is there any possibility of an "other" section, since it seems like there are plenty examples of "Poor Man's Porn" that do not fit into any of the categories mentioned.
