Tricia Helfer (Caprica Six) in Playboy!

I know, I know...this is totally old news. Tricia Helfer, who plays Caprica Six in the hugely successful Battlestar Galactica TV series is in the latest issue of Playboy magazine, baring I'm not exactly sure what to all and sundry.

Here's the news: Star Clipper, which has long eschewed abjectly pornographic materials - that is, objects that appealed solely to the prurient interest - except in the case of special orders, has decided to carry SHELF COPIES (you read that right) of the Tricia Helfer Playboy issue.

Yes, you'll say we carry Lost Girls, which Alan Moore himself calls porno short and simple. OK, you've got me there.

I guess we're taking our first step down that slippery slope - who knows, by year end maybe we'll convert our theater room into St. Louis' biggest selection of adult comix and books! YES!!!! (Don't hold your breath)...

So come and get your copy fast - they won't last long...half the staff plans on buying it, too.
