Playboy remains the genre's big kahuna, and its stew of titillating photo spreads, risqué party jokes and, yes, interesting articles was the original recipe for success in the pornographic magazine business. But the strange, seamy history of smut on paper neither began nor ended with Hef's brainchild...

Isola dei Famosi is broadcast on the state RAI network and follows the success of the local version of Big Brother shown on Berlusconi's Mediaset network. In a sense, Luxuria's victory brings the process full circle. Berlusconi's leftist opponents, often so critical of the lowbrow entertainment that the Prime Minister has championed, now have a lowbrow champion of their...
