Yes, Playboy will publish a 3D Centerfold, because Playboy founder Hugh Hefner believes that one thing that people would like to see in 3D is a naked lady.
The 3-D centerfold will appear in the June issue of the Playboy Magazine which will hit newsstands this Friday, featuring the 51st Playmate of the Year Hope Dworaczyk, who will be the first playmate to jump off page in 3D.
