As much as I resent being left out of anything, here's an offer I could refuse: ever predictable, and never up on the zeitgeist, Playboy has discovered blogging a good five to ten years after the rest of the Internet. They've also discovered that - gasp! - some bloggers are women.

So, Playboy joined those dots, and has created a list of the "hottest" female bloggers and podcasters they could find. (We all know being sexy is the most important virtue a girl could have, don't we?)

They're asking readers to choose their faves, who will be asked to pose nude for Playboy.

I can only hope the winners say "hell to the no." It's too late for some people, but maybe the rest of us can be known for the quality of our writing rather than the size of our chests or pretty our byline picture is.

Maybe.
