Playboy In Braille ?

Playboy In Braille..

When I heard this on Radio, I was absolutely certain that the host was pulling my leg. So I did what any other useless knowledge seeking guy would do. Goggled “wiki Braille playboy”.

And sure enough, The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) has published a Braille edition of Playboy since 1970. The Braille version includes all the written words in the non-Braille magazine, but no pictorial representations. Congress cut off funding for the Braille magazine translation in 1985, but U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan reversed the decision on First Amendment grounds. -wiki

So in other words, part of your tax money is going to translate playboy and other pervert magazines on first amendment grounds. But you still can’t say God in public. I though free speech and freedom of religion was the same thing.
