LOS ANGELES, CALIF. — After news broke last night of the passing of the iconic Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, troops across the globe decided to honor his memory with a ceremonial flying of happy-socks at half mast, sources confirmed today.
His death was announced by a spokesperson for Playboy magazine, a publication founded in the 1950's that became one of the most recognizable icons in the industry, if not the world. All across DoD facilities, bathrooms and port-a-johns are adorned with the magazines for "professional military education" during otherwise mundane bathroom activities.
The magazine has served in every war America has fought in since its creation in 1953, according to defense officials.
