Sorry Playgirls, Levi Dodges Full-Frontal

Hunky Alaskan's full assets left to imagination in Playgirl

(Newser) – Gawker has tracked down the truth about Levi Johnston's Playgirl photos and there's less of the hunky Alaskan on display than promised. Though Levi's manager Tank Jones promised full-frontal nudity, Johnston tucked the object of everyone's curiosity mostly out of sight. "We're thrilled with the photos we got, and are confident people will love them," said a magazine spokesman. But "although there may be glimpses, we did not get full on frontal nudity."

Exactly, if you're going to pose naked in such a rich and culturally rounded publication as Playgirl, then Johnston should've promoted his Johnson. That's like doing a photo shoot for Field & Stream without your fishing pole. Or, droppin' your line and hook in the water without your worm, or maybe even playing "Whack-A-Mole" without your whacker! V
