always assumed working at Playboy must be a pretty dirty job. All the jobs, too. I mean yeah, it’s dirty to go down on Hugh Hefner, but I’m sure it’s equally dirty to be the maid around that mansion. Though I’d never thought about the people with the office jobs and other non-sexual positions - and by positions, I mean jobs – turns out they’ve got a pretty dirty gig too, if a recent lawsuit is to be believed.

Terri Hughes was a producer for the Playboy Radio show “Night Calls.” Hughes claims during a live broadcast, she was asked to repeatedly “wax” the “ass” of co-host Christy Canyon. She alleges Canyon created a hostile environment by, among other things, “exposing her genitals and breasts to co-workers, making requests to guests and co-workers to touch her genitals and breasts, and masturbating herself with her own hands as well as with various sex toys during live broadcasts of ‘Night Calls.’”

Hughes, who is African-American, alleges that when a host of another Playboy show — who was also an African-American woman — requested for Hughes work on her show, the executive producer of Playboy Radio warned, “I don’t know how to say this, and it might offend you, but I’m just going to say it anyway — no Negro shows.”

Hughes is seeking unspecified damages. Calls to Playboy were not immediately returned.

That’s just eight kinds of nasty. When I first read the thing about Christy Canyon “‘exposing her genitals and breasts to co-workers,’” I thought, “Well that’s what you get at Playboy, what do you expect?” But then you keep reading and realize that everything after that is fairly unexpected.

The racial comment was fairly surprising to me. Not just because of its ignorance, but I can’t really figure out why Playboy wouldn’t want that. Again, I’m not sure how Playboy Radio works (aside from what I’m guessing is a lot of noise) but I’d think they’d run out of ideas fairly quickly, due to the limited nature of radio. Wouldn’t a little diversity – literally and in their programming – be a good thing? I mean how many times can you hear Christy Canyon get off before you flip the channel to Rush Limbaugh or something?
